EXPLORATON PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Kempfield RC Drilling Program
Kempfield Stage 1 RC drilling program was affected by rain allowing only 5 days of drilling in the past 6 weeks. To date 1,725 meters have been drilled over the current 3,500-metre drilling program and favourable weather conditions are forecast in September and October that will assist our safety management plan and improved ground conditions.
The Company is expected to receive assay results for the first 400 samples in the next two or three weeks and a further 1,300 sample results in late October. Interstate transport and laboratory availability to process samples has been affected by COVID-19 related delays.
The Company will report assay results with faster turnaround from October onwards and the laboratory in Orange has commenced sample preparation on the second batch of samples.
