Asia Now Resources Corp. (TSXV:NOW) announced that the Company has accelerated its exploration program by mobilizing six rigs to drill at its Beiya project adjacent to the open-pit Beiya Gold Mine, the largest gold mine in Yunnan Province of China, with production capacity being expanded to 200,000 ounces of gold annually.

The press release is quoted as saying:

The accelerated drilling program is in response to good assay results for recently completed drill holes that indicate a high-grade gold, silver and base metal zone at Beiya North (see News Release dated August 9, 2010). In the adjacent Beiya gold mine, some 20 rigs have been drilling thick, high-grade massive copper-gold sulphides in skarns extending to the border of Asia Now’s CJV tenement. Over 40,000 meters drilling has been completed recently at the Beiya Gold Mine to prove up a significant resource of high-grade massive copper-gold sulphides, the largest discovery at the Beiya Gold Mine for the past 30 years.
