Vector Resources Limited provided a drilling update on the planned drilling program and activities that is scheduled to commence at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect at the company's Maniema Gold Project located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The company announced on 8 August 2017 and 21 August 2017 that it had awarded and executed a diamond drilling contract with African Drilling Limited. A total 4,000m drilling program is planned by the Company at the Maniema Gold Project with an initial 6 holes approved to be completed at the advanced Kabotshome Gold Prospect. The balance of diamond drilling program is to be focused on the Company's Kabotshome Gold Prospect and also at the Mitunda and Namoya West Gold Prospects where visible gold has been identified and once ongoing further exploration work has been completed. With mobilisation now well underway, activities at site and at the Company's Exploration Camp are scheduled to commence from 5 September 2017. The initial 6 hole drilling program planned at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect has been designed as part of an in-fill and extensional program around the existing JORC Inferred Resource of 6.97Mt at 1.9g/t Au for 421,000oz and which remains open along strike and at depth. The drilling program will further assist in the broader drilling program planned by the Company's technical management. Extensions to the gold mineralisation at depth to the north and south of the Kabotshome Gold Prospect is planned. This is testing the twin thick high-grade gold mineralisation intersected in the deepest diamond hole drilled to date at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect, KBD07. This hole reported grade intercepts of 20.25m at 2.5g/t (from 319m) including 8m at 4.03g/t and 21.7m at 3.58g/t (from 354m) including 5.7m at 8.74g/t. Two new diamond holes, Borehole ID (BHID) 4130-178 and BHID 3933-37 will test the depth extensions of the gold mineralisation to the north and south respectively. Three further diamond holes, BHID 4366-38 is proposed to test the northern extension of the Kabotshome Gold Prospect and BHID 3460-28 and BHID 3460-29 are designed to test the southern extensions of strike. BHID 4366-38 to the north of the existing resource will follow up on previous shallow trenching work that was completed and that reported 24m at 3.33g/t in KBT06A and 12m at 3.06g/t in KBT04. BHID 3460-28 and BHID 3460-29 will test the extensions to the south and follow up on results from trench KBT07 which reported 40m at 0.89g/t including 12m at 1.44g/t. BHID 3539-128 is an infill hole designed to improve resource model confidence in the sparsely drilled southern area.
