BPM Minerals Ltd. announced that drilling has commenced at its Santy Gold Project, located in Western Australia's Murchison Region, 430km north of Perth. Drilling at the Santy Project has defined a very coherent gold anomaly at the `Santy Prospect. The Santy Prospect gold anomaly is characterised as a 2.2km-long 25ppb gold anomalous trend contained within a prominent north-northeast trending shear zone.

The Santy Project comprises two granted Exploration Licences and two applications totalling 663km2 which remains largely underexplored, with 80% of granted tenure under transported cover. The Santy Project lies within the Tallering Greenstone Belt, considered prospective for mesothermal gold and VMS base-metal mineralisation. Deposits within the Tallering Belt include high-grade deposits and historical production from the Mixy Deposi, A-Zone: 63,000 Oz Au @ 2.1g/t Au and Royal Standard Min.

The program is expected to take 3 weeks to complete with holes to be completed at both gold and base-metal targets.
