1.30 g/t Au over 30m from 12m
2.45 g/t Au over 15m from 26m
Chief executive Steve Poulton said described the intersection of 8.50 g/t Au over 24m from 20m downhole as “exceptional”.
The planned drilling programme at Diba includes up to 7,500m of air core (AC) and 12,500m of RC drilling.
To date, 2,989m of AC and 1,803m of RC drilling have been completed.
