Significant sulphide intersections include : _______________________________________________________ | Hole ID |Section |From|To |Interval |Grade | Location | | |(UTM55) |(m) |(m)| (m) |(g/t) | | |_________|________|____|___|_________|______|__________| |SNRC985 | 3750 | 77 |85 | 8 | 4.37 | Teberu | |_________|________|____|___|_________|______|__________| |SNDD1002 | 3775 | 74 |77 | 10 | 4.18 | Teberu | |_________|________|____|___|_________|______|__________| |SNDD1005 | 3825 | 58 |73 | 15 | 4.18 | Teberu | |_________|________|____|___|_________|______|__________| |SNDD1010 | 3925 | 43 |53 | 10 | 3.87 | Teberu | |_________|________|____|___|_________|______|__________| |SNRCD999 | 1650 |104 |115| 12 | 2.61 |Salman Sth| |_________|________|____|___|_________|______|__________| | | | 80 |84 | 4 | 3.13 |Salman Sth| |SNRCD1008| 1627 |____|___|_________|______|__________| | | | 89 |95 | 6 | 2.65 |Salman Sth| |_________|________|____|___|_________|______|__________| * See notes to Exploration Results & Appendix 1 At the Teberu 04 pit 10 RC (reverse circulation) and 7 diamond holes have now been drilled.  Sulphide mineralisation has been intersected in a continuous zone that extends for over 300m and has been tested to a vertical depth of ~50m.  Additional deeper drilling is now planned. At the Salman Central 01 pit 17 RC holes have been drilled, 4 of which are precollars for diamond holes and at Salman South 1A pit 1 diamond and 16 RC holes have been drilled, 15 of which are precollars.  Diamond holes will be drilled at 50m spacing to test the sulphide zones to a depth of 100m to allow a new sulphide resource estimate to be calculated in 2011. More exploration diamond drilling will continue at Salman South and Salman Central.  Preparation for reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Aliva oxide prospect is well advanced and soil sampling will recommence following a late end to the current wet season.
