Drilling Underway at Prairie Downs Project
Prairie Downs Metals Limited is pleased to announce that a diamond drill rig has arrived at its namesake project and is expected to commence drilling today. The initial drill target is the Costean Seven copper prospect. An RC drill rig is also expected on site next month.
A 20,000 metre drill program has been planned to test recent copper discoveries with the objective of defining an inaugural copper resource. It will also test strike and depth extensions to the existing zinc/lead resource and other exploration targets yet to be drilled, including Anomaly A.
The Company anticipates it will continue drilling at Prairie Downs with at least two drill rigs until the end of the year. Regular progress reports will be released as the program continues.
