Alba Mineral Resources plc said it had started the second phase of the surface drilling programme at Clogau-St David’s gold mine, North Wales.
Drilling eight to 10 holes for some 2,000 metres will target what Alba believes to be the westerly, 550-metre extension to the Clogau Main Lode which is the source of most of the historic gold production at the mine.
Following confirmation, the area of continuity will become a primary zone for underground development and extraction.
Phase 2 drilling will also seek to intersect projected depth extensions of the historically worked Grandfathers Lode and the 7-10 Lode.
