Commenting on these further encouraging results, Sub Sahara Managing Director Mike
Griffiths said:
�This latest batch of drill results has added additional confidence to our gold resource
and although these results will not be incorporated in the resource update expected in
February, we consider these latest results significant as they clearly indicate the nature
of the high grade mineralisation anticipated in the deposit.
�The strong results received to-date from our exploration drilling of the Zara project
coupled with the news late last year that the Eritrean government approved its first
mining application, are all tangible signs that point to Eritrea becoming a gold producer
in the near future.
