Tethyan Resources (TSXV:TETH) has announced the commencement of exploration drilling at the Rudnica copper-gold porphyry prospect in Serbia.

According to the company, the drill programme will consist of 3 to 4 diamond drill holes, for a total of between 1,500 – 2,000 metres, stepping-out from Tethyan’s previous drilling at Rudnica South as well as targeting an untested area known as Rudnica North situated approximately 500 metres to the north which has not previously been drilled.

President and CEO of Tethyan, Fabian Baker said:

“The Rudnica prospect as a whole is a large porphyry exploration target, of which we have only focused on a small area to date. We want to make sure we are covering that ground and testing it thoroughly. Typical geochemical and geophysical characteristics that might indicate the upper reaches of a porphyry system do coincide at Rudnica North, however these are true exploration scout drill holes and so we will eagerly wait to see what they return.”
