The Board of Far Northern Resources Limited, said:

The fact that sulphides are present in all four anomalies and were encountered in the very first drilling program, is very encouraging. We will now reassess all IP targets for further directional drilling in the near future.

All samples have now been submitted to Intertek Minerals in Townsville for testing. FNR looks forward to receiving the assay results and getting back on the ground at the Empire Mining Lease to follow up on recent exploration program.
