Eight reverse circulation (RC) drill-holes were completed (as announced November10[th] and 24[th] 2014) as phase one of the resource development drilling over the hard-rock resource at the historical Lloyds Mine. This was also a pre-cursor to phase one of the metallurgical drilling to collect core for the bulk sample (as announced December 3[rd] 2014). A 200kg sample was collected from three diamond drill-holes and dispatched to the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Adelaide for comminution and flotation test-work.

The final phase of resource development and metallurgical drilling commences in January. The drilling will conclude with pit and infrastructure site drilling for geotechnical assessment.

Exploration

To keep operating costs to a minimum, preliminary mine site layouts have proposed plant and trainings dam infrastructure close to the anticipated open pit; these sites are also over prospective geophysics targets (as announced January 7[th] 2014). Two deeper diamond core holes will be drilled to confirm the prospectivity of the Priority 1 exploration targets (as defined in several previous announcements) 1-2 km south of the historic Lloyds Mine.
