This includes a 3,800m resource definition diamond drill programme at the Minyari and WACA and 3,000m greenfields air core drillling.
A 30 hole, 4,000m RC drilling programme has commenced for Victory Mines with RC drilling to target areas along strike and below the previously mined high grade Coogee pit. The drilling will extend over the entire 600m long pit trend with Drilling aimed to outline additional gold mineralisation that could upgrade the current resource estimate. Coogee is located south east of Kalgoorlie and on the north side of Lake Lefroy, which is in proximity to GoldFields St Ives. According to Victory Mines, The 4,000m RC drill programme will drill test the down plunge extensions of a number of the high-grade gold shoots within the overall 600m strike length Coogee pit trend and below the previously mined Coogee pit.

Diamond Drilling has commenced on the Andover Nickel-Copper Project (60% Azure / 40% Creasy Group), located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. An initial 12-hole, 3,000m diamond core drilling program on defined targets is underway with downhole EM surveying of drill holes. Azure Managing Director, Mr. Tony Rovira said: “We’re very pleased to get our first drilling program at Andover underway so quickly, in what is a target-rich environment for nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation. Azure has hit the ground running with the initial six-week program of ground EM surveying now completed and our first drill program underway.” Mr Rovira also said there would be high priority of drilling the anomalies “The ground EM surveying has identified numerous electromagnetic conductors indicative of bedrock hosted sulphide mineralisation and drilling of these new anomalies will be undertaken as a matter of high priority. Drilling will continue through to the end of the year, with first assay results expected later this month.”
