ASX RELEASE
DRILLING COMMENCES AT TORIAN’S ZULEIKA JV PROJECT
Highlights:
-
RAB drilling has commenced at Torian’s Zuleika JV Project.
-
The RAB program is to comprise 15,000m of reconnaissance drilling.
-
Additional 1,000m RC program expected to commence next week.
-
Drilling will test a 5km strike length of the interpreted Zuleika Shear.
-
Torian’s drill targets have been developed by an extensive database of historical drilling which was created from publically available information.
Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or Company )( ASX:TNR ) is pleased to announce that a RAB drill rig has arrived at the Company’s Zuleika Joint Venture (JV) Project in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. Drilling commenced yesterday afternoon.
As previously announced, the large drilling campaign will comprise approximately 15,000m of reconnaissance angled RAB holes drilled to bedrock along 5km of the interpreted Zuleika Shear and associated structures. Torian is encouraged by previous wide spaced (800m by 100m) shallow drilling in this target zone, which has intersected black shales and other prospective lithologies with anomalous gold and arsenic values.
Torian’s drill targets have been defined by geophysical and geological information generated by an extensive in-house database. This database was created from publicly available exploration data from the WA Geological Survey. The Company, through interpretation of the 3D structural model and underlying data, has identified numerous strategic targets which will be tested by the current RAB drilling.

In addition to the RAB drilling, the Company will complete approximately 1,000m of RC drilling which is designed to confirm anomalous historic RAB and Aircore intersections. The RC drill rig is mobilising to site later this week, with drilling expected to commence early next week.
Matthew Sullivan, MD of Torian, comments:
“A significant amount of work has been achieved to get the Company to this point. In a short period, Torian has entered into the JV over the Zuleika project, completed five acquisitions in the region and has now commenced its first drilling program. This is a significant milestone for Torian and its shareholders and testament to our belief that Torian has a very bright future”.
