A further 54 drilled holes are planned for a total of 66. Further samples have been sent for continued analysis. On-site surveying at Pare began last year.

Shareholders await mining updates on Gauoal, but initial surveillance shows significantly higher grades than Lushoto and Pare.
Twenty-one Gauoal samples have shown aluminium peaking at 73.99 per cent.
