Kentor to start drilling at Gabanintha

The program follows a HeliTEM survey flown by the company in September last year.

“The survey was undertaken to identify drilling targets in order to extend known gold-copper mineralisation at Gabanintha,” Kentor Gold said in its ASX announcement.

“Kentor Gold has already established gold resources at Gabanintha and at nearby Burnakura where the company is targeting the commencement of gold production during 20121.”

Kentor said the modelling of the targets will begin this month, which it expects will provide the company with estimates as to the size and orientation of the mineralisation in order to assist follow-up drilling.

The proposed drilling to be undertaken at Gabanintha forms a part of an overall 20,000 metre Reverse Circulation drilling program that Kentor will commence this month at its Burnakura gold project, located close by.

This regional exploration will be carried out in addition to other drilling the company has planned for 2012 designed to increase and upgrade the existing Inferred Resource at Gabanintha of 4.5 million tonnes at 1.4 grams per tonne gold at 0.5 grams per tonne cut-off for 203,000 ounces of gold.
