Meanwhile, the Lady Magdalene deposit yielded a result of 18 meters grading 2.87 g/t of gold from 34 meters, including 1 meter grading 23.7 g/t of gold from 46 meters.

Drill highlights at the Lady Lila deposit include an interval of 6 meters grading 9.57 g/t of gold from 26 meters, including 1 meter grading 54.5 g/t of gold from 26 meters.

The drill program consisted of 38 holes for a total of 2,408 meters. Follow-up drilling at the three deposits and the Van Uden West target is expected to commence in late October.
