Tectonic Gold PLC - mineral explorer in Australia and South Africa - Says 350 metres of deep diamond core drilling at Goldsmiths Reef mine as part of the Specimen Hill project in Queensland, Australia is to be completed within two weeks, targeting the bullseye geophysical target below high-grade historic mine. Says assays have returned grades of 8.17 grams per tonne of gold over 1 metre in distal veins in the last ten metres, before the hole was suspended due to bad weather.

Managing Director Brett Boynton says: "Field reconnaissance during September confirmed the ground conditions were suitable to remobilise, however a general shortage of rigs delayed our restart until earlier this week. We began drilling yesterday and with a week of good weather forecast we expect to complete this final hole left over from the 2021 campaign and have samples off to the lab for assay in the next two weeks."
