Southern Arc continues to hit wide intervals of gold mineralization

Canadian-listed metal exploration firm Southern Arc Minerals Inc. announced Tuesday assay results from holes PLD010 to PLD014 as a continuation of Phase 2 drilling at Pelangan, West Lombok.

These results continue to define broad zones of gold mineralisation over widely spaced intervals along the Central and South Raja epithermal breccia-lodes which remain open laterally and at depth, the company said.

These intercepts show continuity of mineralisation over widely spaced intervals with the localised development of high-grade shoot zones. The program at Pelangan is on track to test all the mineralised structures at wide intervals to detect potential shoots within the structure. More closely spaced in-filling drilling will then focus on these shoots.

To date potential high-grade shoots remain open at depth and along strike at Central Raja and the latest results indicate excellent potential for the South Raja Lode, it added.

Currently 5 rigs are operating at Pelangan. These are testing the North Raja area and the Tanjung lode below old drillhole TDG002 which returned 10.05m @ 13.4g/t Au & 8.0g/t Ag. Drilling also continues at the Central Raja Lode and on South Raja.(alex)
