From Announcement: Managing Director of MEI Dr. Andrew Tunks:
“We were expecting something special from our first holes at Juruena after we intersected visible gold and intense alteration, HOWEVER THE THE RESULTS HAVE EXCEEDED EVEN MY EXPECTATION!
"In fact, this is the BEST DRILLING INTERCEPT I HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH IN MY CAREER."(I can tell you that is saying something from a man who is known as the geo of geo's and whose speciality is gold and who has been involved with major discoveries!)
While we were confident of the possibilities based on the historic drilling and the gold we observed, it is very reassuring to have assay numbers that support our interpretation! “I am extremely proud of what the Company and the exploration team has achieved since the acquisition in April. We have recruited and deployed excellent staff, contracted and mobilised two drill rigs and struck bonanza grades. All done in remarkably quick time!
“We have now completed eight holes and are testing some deeper targets beneath Dona Maria that are very exciting!(more gold the deeper you go!) The geological logging, sample dispatch and assay procedures are flowing well ensuring a steady flow of drill results over the coming months!
Furthermore, we have recognised the untapped potential at the Novo Astro Project and moved quickly to execute an exploration and drilling program in tandem with Juruena.”
