Lavras Gold Corp. has extended its 16,000-metre drill program to 20,000 metres, and with two drills turning at site, is actively following up on the Fazenda do Posto discovery at its LDS Project in southern Brazil. The Company expects to focus its drilling over the foreseeable future at Fazenda do Posto and the Butiá Gold Deposit, where the goal is to define the geometry and gold grade distribution of these areas and ultimately grow its overall gold inventory.

Two drills are currently turning, one at Fazenda do Posto and one at Butiá. Once the drill core has been logged and assay results have been obtained and interpreted, the results will be disclosed. The typical turnaround time is approximately six to eight weeks.
