Posted on Author editorial Comment(1)

CONTINUITY

The company will follow up work completed at the Meeneragh target and aim to test the main gold-bearing outcrop. 

Drilling, from two drill pads at -45 and -70 degrees, will focus on the main vein target that previously produced intercepts of 3.05m at 5.8g/t gold and 4.82m at 5.48g/t gold.

Arkle said it aimed to intercept the vein at different depths and along strike to determine vein continuity. 

Further drill holes have been permitted but are dependent on results.
