Besra Gold Inc. announced the imminent commencement of a key part of its initial drilling within the Pejiru Sector, aimed at both upgrading the classification and increasing the overall Resource inventory, to support future potential development feasibility studies. The Pejiru Deposit is already a significant part of the wider Bau Gold Project (73.6 Mt @ 1.43 g/t for 3.3Moz of gold) hosting: An Inferred Resource of 0.97Moz at 1.2 g/t Au (JORC 2012) An additional Exploration Target of 1.7 - 3.3 Moz3,4 at 1.7 -2/4 g/t Au a JORC 2012 mineral Resource of 0.97Moz at 1.2 g/t A detailed review by Besra has outlined a 3,000m drilling program targeting two distinct mineralisation habitats identified being near surface deposits and Sub-vertical feeder zones. Within the Bogag-Pejiru area of the Pejiru Sector the Resource wireframe extends for a strike length of 1.5 km and is between 100 -150 m wide. Given the limited drilling density, and as reflected in the current Inferred Resource classification, the extent of mineralisation remains open at several locations both in the dip and strike directions. Proposed targeted infill and step-out drilling is intended to better define the extent of mineralisation as well as allow upgrading of the Resource classification to enable their support in future feasibility studies. Comprehensive geophysical coverage, correlated to historical drill results and surface mapping, has resulted in the identification of 16 potential sub-vertical feeder systems within the Pejiru Sector (Figure 3). Priority drilling will be undertaken on those known to be associated with shallow mineralisation and having coincident DIGHEM conductivity anomalies - given that these anomalies suggest the involvement of underlying intrusives and the potential for mineralized deep lead shoots within the former sub-vertical feeder zones. The Bau conceptual model suggests that with increasing depth these sub-vertical feeder zones, would generally exhibit progressively more siliceous and higher-grade mineralisation characteristics. Illustrates the attributes of such targets with a cross-section of the Kapor Prospect. Here historical drilling, targeting shallow mineralisation within the Bau Limestone, encountered anomalously higher-grade gold intersections across a surface footprint having a distinct DIGHEM conductivity anomaly. The more remarkable intersections included: KPDDH01 - 32 m @ 11.4 g/t; KPRC 65 - 55m @ 2.3 g/t; KPRC 66 - 20 m @ 1.8 g/t; & KPRC02 - 81 m @ 3.26 g/t, including 11 m @ 12.13 g/t. Given the primary exploration objective pursued at that time was the delineation of shallow mineralisation associated with the limestone/shale contact, several drill holes terminated within mineralisation. Besra intends to undertake additional drilling specifically to determine the depth extent of these deeper higher grades of mineralisation at Kapor Prospect located within the Pejiru Sector. Although the surface footprint of the DIGHEM geophysical anomaly footprint is restricted, by their very nature the bulk of the mineralisation is expected to have a dominant vertical component (in contrast to the shallow mineralisation associated with limestone/shale contacts). Mineralisation in these settings is likened to that encountered at the Tai Parit mine site, located just outside of the township of Bau. Tai Parit, which ceased operations in 1996 following a downturn in commodity prices, had produced a total of 1.2 Moz of largely non- refractory Au, with average grades during the most recent production of 7 g/t. Total production was from an open pit extending some 80 m subsurface, with the pit floor still within mineralisation. At Kapor several infill holes will be drilled to 120 - 150 m to ascertain the extent of deeper mineralisation. Similar features at Boring will also be investigated as part of the Pejiru Drilling Program.
