SUNRIDGE GOLD CORP.: UPDATE ON DRILL PROGRAM, ASMARA PROJECT, ERITREA
Sunridge Gold Corp. has released a progress report on the 10,000-metre diamond drill program that commenced July 5, 2005, on the Adi Nefas Gossan volcanogenic massive sulphide prospect, part of the Asmara project in Eritrea. The company is currently drilling hole No. NG-014, the eighth hole thus far in the program. The drill is operating two shifts per day (24 hours); thus, it is expected that a significant amount of assay results will be available in mid-to-late September. Given the favourable topography of the Asmara project, the rainy season has minimal impact on the drill program.
Drilling to date has focused on following up the previously reported high-grade gold, copper and zinc drill results at the Adi Nefas Gossan prospect with both infill and step-out drilling. As part of this program, drilling will also drill test down-dip and along-strike extensions at the high-grade copper/gold Debarwa deposit and drill test satellite targets recently defined by geological mapping and geophysics on the Debarwa and Medrizien licences.
