Codrus Minerals Limited announced that it has commenced field exploration activities at its 100%-owned Middle Creek Gold Project, located near Nullagine in the Pilbara district of Western Australia. The initial work program will consist of the excavation of up to 11 trenches to allow detailed mapping and sampling in areas of where multiple gold anomalies were identified from previous soil and rock chip sampling. Coincidentally, the Company has pegged an additional 12 tenements in the district, with seven being contiguous with existing tenure.

The remaining five are in areas deemed to be prospective for additional gold mineralisation. The Middle Creek Project is located 10km to the east of Nullagine in the Pilbara mining district of Western Australia. The area, which is currently going through a significant expansion of gold exploration and mining activity.

A project-wide review of the geochemical sampling was completed which informed a program of surface trenching planned for excavation, mapping and sampling. The trenching will focus on the Major, Rangi, Dolores, Horse, Boris and Spud geochemical anomalies across the tenements. Once these areas are mapped and sampled, it will provide the Company's exploration team with greater geological context.

Given the geochemical anomalies already identified, it is envisaged that the trenching program will generate follow-up targets for Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling. New Tenements: During a regional review, a number of key areas were highlighted in the Nullagine Mining Centre that the Company believes are prospective for gold mineralisation. As a result of this, 12 new tenements were applied for, with seven of the tenements being contiguous to the west of the current land-holding and five to the south of the current land-holding.
