East Star Resources PLC - Begins the next phase of drilling at the Verkhuba copper deposit in the East Region of Kazakhstan. It expects the programme to involve at least 4,000 metres of diamond core drilling, and provide further material for metallurgical test work. At least 1,000 metres are expected to be drilled this year, with the rest of the programme to be completed "as early as possible" in 2025.
Chief Executive Officer Alex Walker says: "Preparations for drilling began several months ago, including building heated sea containers to allow logging, cutting and sample preparation by the East Star geological team during winter. The drill programme has been designed to increase increase certainty of the ore lenses within existing modelled open pits, and target gaps between lenses where the potential to increase tonnage exists."
