Exploration and Resource Definition Drilling planned for Rover 1
==> picture [295 x 211] intentionally omitted <==
Castile Resources has planned drilling programs at the Rover Project for the dry season from April to November 2020*
The program includes high priority exploration and resource definition drillholes
* Castile Resources COVID-19 Business Update
Castile advises that due to COVID-19 travel restrictions the Castile Resources drilling program planned for April to November 2020 has been delayed. Castile is fortunate in that it has no inhabitants or remote indigenous communities residing on any of the Company's’ tenements and we remain fully engaged with the Northern Territory Government and the CLC as to when we can safely return to begin our drilling program. Our selected drilling contractor remains on standby and Castile has outlined solutions to fully isolate drilling teams and geology staff using our fenced core yard and remote exploration camp at Rover 1. The communities of Tennant Creek, the Barkly Region, the CLC and the Northern Territory Government are very supportive of Castile and the enormous economic benefits the Company brings to the region.
