Today’s market announcement, “1 KM Visual Mineralisation Hobbs gold bearing deposit”, has generated numerous calls from investors, brokers and analysts seeking clarification of costs and ongoing funding requirements for the Mt Adrah drilling program.

At the end of May 2013, cash and receivables for Sovereign Gold Group were approximately $1.5m.

Cost of the initial hole (1,030m) at the Hobbs Pipe 1 deposit, including assays and analysis, is in the order of $300,000.

The next planned drill hole (GHD004) is a sub-vertical, angular hole to test the width of the Hobbs Pipe 1 deposit.

Expected cost is also in the order of $300,000.

In order to preserve existing funds, Sovereign Gold has made arrangements to place up to $500,000 worth of shares it currently holds in Precious Metal Resources Limited (ASX: PMR) (SOC: 81.26%) to professional and sophisticated investors to fund the next planned 1000m hole.
