Lindian Resources Limited announced that it has provided an update on its drilling program targeting the Bouba Conglomerate Bauxite Plateaux at the Gaoual Bauxite Project in Guinea. To date auger drilling has commenced at two localities within the Bouba Plateau, the location of a defined Conglomerate Bauxite occurrence. Both drill holes are central to the plateau and are to provide some primary support for the confirmation of the Conglomerate Bauxite at depth as well as grade confirmation through the use of a portable XRF reader. The two holes locations and depths are as below: GAG001 1275800mN 687450mE Depth 8m Remains in very high-grade Conglomerate. GAG002 1275800mN 687750mE Depth 12m Remains in very high-grade Conglomerate Both holes encountered Conglomerate. Bauxite through to the current drilled depth, with both the holes ending in very high- grade Conglomerate Bauxite mineralization. Neither hole was completed to total depth due to, the drill rods becoming stuck in first hole (GAG001) while drilling the 9 meter and the drillers struggled to get them out. The team decided to move to drill the second hole (GAG002) while they developed a solution to recover the drill rods from the first hole. During drilling the second hole, the hydraulic pump on the drill rig failed completely at the 12 meter down the hole. This is the current status of drilling right now. Spare parts and another drill rig are being mobilised from Mali and are expected on site either over the coming weekend or early next week. Neither hole can be reentered and will need to be re-drilled with twined holes. Both drill hole samples have been analyzed by a portable XRF to confirm the grades present within the individual Metre samples. These values are considered indicative only and provide support to the site team to aid in geological definition of the material being tested. All samples will be prepared for full analysis in a qualified laboratory as soon as possible. Logging of the samples has indicated the presence of Conglomerate Bauxite from top to base of both drill holes completed to date. Alumina grades are uniformly high from top to bottom, typical of conglomerate bauxite due to the nature of its formation. It has been noted in both drill holes a slight increase in the silica levels within the upper two - three metres which is assumed to be the capture of aeolian sands upon the surface of the Conglomerate Bauxite over time. The drill program has confirmed the presence of very high-grade Conglomerate Bauxite as mapped within the Bouba Plateau. Drilling; however, has not yet been able to confirm the actual true depth of the occurrence due to, mechanical and equipment issues.
