Drilling Programme Approved

 

Northern Zone Gold Project Update, Kalgoorlie, Western Australia

 

 

Oracle Power PLC (AIM:ORCP), the international natural resources project developer, is pleased to announce that the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety - Western Australia, has approved the Company's Programme of Work ("PoW") for the Northern Zone Gold Project, located 25km east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.  The objective of the first phase of the PoW is to complete seven Reverse Circulation (RC) drillholes up to 260 metres deep, for a total of ~1,500 metres, specifically targeting gold mineralisation within a series of stacked porphyry intrusions.

 

To undertake the work at Northern Zone, BM Geological Services ("BMGS") has been contracted to carry out the drill programme and are advanced in securing a drill rig, following which it will be mobilised to site, which is expected in two to four weeks' time in total.

 

Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented:

 

"It is great to have the PoW approved, which allows Oracle to commence drilling in the Northern Zone. Local contractors, BMGS, are very advanced in securing a drill rig, with a start date that can now be locked in, with the PoW in hand. We expect drilling to start in a few weeks, once drill rig availability is confirmed, and we will update shareholders as plans progress. The market will be updated on progress as material events occur."
