Askari Metals Limited announced that the company has commenced its inaugural 2,500m RC exploration drilling campaign at the company's 100% owned Horry Copper and Gold Project located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The main target of the inaugural RC exploration drilling campaign is the copper and gold mineralisation that has been identified at the Horry Horse prospect, where the majority of the 2,500m program will be focused. The mineralisation at the Horry Horse prospect is visible as an intermittent malachite outcrop over move than 400m and has been validated with several rock samples containing results including 8.5% Cu with 0.71 g/t Au and 42g/t Ag as well as 3.77% Cu with 0.63g/t Au and 12g/t Ag.

Two other targets will also be tested during this RC exploration drilling campaign, including the potential strike extension of the Horry Horse mineralisation as well as the gold mineralisation near the Mt Dockrell workings.
