Vector Resources Limited announced that the tender process for the proposed 4,000m diamond drilling program is underway at its Maniema Gold Project located in the Maniema Province, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In January and February 2017, the Company completed meetings with several drilling contractors with an established presence and with proven capabilities in conducting drilling programs on gold projects in the DRC. Following these meetings, the Company's technical management pre-qualified a number of these drilling contractors to submit tender proposals for the upcoming 4,000m diamond drilling program that is proposed to be completed at the Maniema Gold Project in the first half of 2017. The 4,000m diamond drilling program will primarily be focused on the Company' advanced Kabotshome Gold Project, which has a JORC Inferred Resource of 6.97 Mt at 1.9g/t Au for 421,000oz with a 20g/t Au top- cut. The Kabotshome Gold Project has been drilled previously, with a total of 17 diamond holes drilled, all of which intersected gold mineralization along the Kabotshome structure, which extended for over 800 m strike length of gold mineralization and which remains open in all directions. Previous diamond drilling at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect identified mineralization that was generally 15m to 25m wide with a grade range of 1.5 to 2.5g/t Au. Best grades were reported where the main shear zone identified at surface intersects the sediments as shown in KBD07 which reported 20.25m at 2.5g/t gold (from 319m) including 8m at 4.03g/t gold and 21.7m at 3.58g/t gold (from 354m) including 5.7 m at 8.74g/t gold.
