DRILLING COMMENCES AT SAMBUNG GEOPHYSICAL IP
ANOMALY ADJACENT TO 100,000 oz Au SAMBUNG
INFERRED RESOURCE.
Oropa is pleased to announce the recommencement of drilling in the
North Block of the Pungkut Gold project in North Sumatra,
Indonesia. Drilling is targeting a large geophysical IP anomaly
immediately west of and parallel to the 100,000 oz Au Sambung
Inferred Resource. Limited outcrop occurs in the vicinity of the IP
anomaly, however a test pit dug to 8 metres depth encountered
silicified Permian volcaniclastic sediments and anomalous gold (Table
1). There is some anomalous gold in soil coincident with the IP
anomaly.
The first hole testing the geophysical anomaly SAMDD075 (in
progress) has intersected silicified rock, confirming that the anomaly
is related to an alteration system. The anomaly is 600 metres long,
and open to the south-east (figure 1). The objective of drilling along
the Sihayo-Sambung trend is to increase the resource base from
710,000 oz Au to greater than 1 Million oz Au.
