The initial focus of the program will be on a 3,000m by 1,500m area where the presence, location, direction and dip of the most interesting conductor structures have been interpreted to be by the AREVA geologists and geophysicists.
The initial 1,400m program is planned to consist of 4 to 8 holes to depths of 150m to 350m. The first 133 meters of good quality core have been recovered from the first hole. The program is expected to take approximately 1 month to complete.
