Rugby Mining Limited announced preliminary gold results from recently completed drilling at the Great Northern Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The program, comprising five drill holes for a total of 1,191 metres ('m'), was conducted at the Wingina prospect to test for depth extensions to the high grade footwall gold zone. Five reverse circulation /rotary pre-collared drill holes and four diamond drill tails were drilled.

Unfortunately, due to excessive hole deviation and difficult ground conditions, only one hole (RWG002) was successfully drilled to the target depth. Preliminary gold assays have been received for all the drill holes and include the following significant results: RWG002 61.5 m @ 1.14 g/t gold from 196.4 m RWG003 1.0 m @ 14.49 g/t gold from 255.3 m, RWG005A 10.0 m @ 2.59 g/t gold from 266.0 m and 3.0 m @ 5.15 g/t gold from 301.0 m.
