DGO Gold Limited has completed the first 1,000m of the recently commenced 140 hole, 8,000m drilling program on its Mallina East tenements. The company advises that it has temporarily halted these aircore drilling operations to allow further consultation with a regional native title group. The Mallina East tenements, E47/3328, E47/3329 and E47/4315, are prospective for Hemi-style gold mineralization and are situated in an area where potential claims have not been determined. A heritage survey was conducted over this area by one of the regional native title groups and cleared for the drilling undertaken to date. Subsequently, a second regional native title group has indicated it wishes to be consulted in relation to exploration activities on these tenements. In light of this request, the company has temporarily suspended drilling activities to progress these discussions. The company expects drilling to recommence later this month.
