We are pleased to report positive drill results from the first program on Aurizona near mine targets. It is very encouraging that mineralization has been intersected over significant widths at each target and that strong similarities exist between these targets and the Piaba deposit. Completion of this initial drill program is an important step in advancing the Aurizona project, as defining new sources of oxide ore will increase the future flexibility of our operations.
