Aston Minerals (ASO) has announced its plans to commence drill testing along-strike of its 1.5 million-ounce Edleston Main and Sirola gold resource in late March.
The upcoming drill program includes a planned 14 diamond drill holes over 1900 metres at the company’s Edleston project in Ontario, Canada.
“The program we have underway is testing 1.9 kilometres of multiple paralleling IP chargeability anomalies, along-strike and within the same lithological setting as that of Sirola,” ASO Executive Chairman Tolga Kumova commented.
Aston also confirmed the prospective setting extended a further 6.2 kilometres to the east of its planned drilling.
“Predecessors conducted a limited IP survey along part of this trend and identified a significant amount of paralleling IP chargeability anomalies,” Mr Kumova said.
The company said it expected the program to provide it with an indication of the overall scale of the system immediately along-strike from Sirola, which remained completely open to the east.
Shares in ASO were up 5.7 per cent and trading at 10.3 cents at 12:17 pm AEDT.
