NORTHERN Mining has announced it will commence a 2,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at Blair North Prospect, Western Australia before the end of March 2009.
The miner says the programme will focus on the southern and northern gold targets where gold values up to 39.82g/t Au in BNRC033 (northern zone) and 34.55g/t Au in BNRC020 (southern zone) were intercepted from previous diamond and RC drilling programmes.
Northern Mining says recent diamond drilling results from the southern zone confirmed the continuity of the upper and lower lodes and highlighted the potential for high grade gold shoots locally and in the region. Early results indicated that the mineralised system is open in a northerly direction and requires further drilling to determine its full extent.
The miner claims the aim of the impending programme is to extend the zone of gold mineralisation along strike from previous intercepts.
