Sunridge Gold and Antofagasta commence drilling at Daero Paulos target
Sunridge Gold (TSX-V: SGC) confirmed this morning that a 2,000 meter Phase 1 drill program has commenced at Daero Paulos, a copper prospect on the Asmara Project, Eritrea.
The Daero Paulos target is part of an exploration agreement with Antofagasta (LSE: ANTO) which was completed on October 2, 2009. Antofagasta is funding US$10 million of exploration work over a 5-year period to earn a 60% interest in the Asmara Project. Antofagasta is a constituent of the FTSE-100 Index, with interests in mining, transport and water distribution predominately in South America.
“Daero Paulos is a large area of intense alteration measuring approximately 500 meters wide and 2.5 kilometers long, that has recently been subject to detailed geological mapping by Antofagasta and Sunridge geologists,” the company reported. “The target has not been previously drilled and is located about 10 kilometers southwest of the capital city of Asmara with good access by asphalt and dirt roads.”
The 2,000 meter program will consist of 6 diamond drill holes completed to a depth of approximately 300 meters.
