The target zone, from around 400 metres below the surface, is located in the same area that was identified as a major interest – from historical gravity, magnetic and magnetotelluric surveys. Cohiba has overcome all previous hurdles in relation to the Kokatha Aboriginal Corporation (KAC) and is looking forward to working with them as we finalise the drilling contracts at both Horse Well and Pernatty C for early June.”
