Vector Resources Limited provided a drilling update on the current drilling program and activities that are ongoing at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect at the company's Maniema Gold Project located in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In addition, the company provided an update on its ongoing discussions in respect of negotiations with a number of parties to acquire additional advanced projects in the DRC. Drilling activities at the Maniema Gold Prospect commenced earlier this quarter following the execution of a diamond drilling contract with African Drilling Limited ("ADL"), the preparation of the drill pads and associated work and ADL's mobilisation to site. The current drilling program is part of an initial 4,000 metre program, with the first 6 holes aimed at infill and extensional drilling at Kabotshome Gold Deposit. 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 to test the northern extension of the Kabotshome Gold Prospect and BHID 3460-28 and BHID 3460-29 to test the southern strike extensions are included in the initial 6 hole program. 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. The current drilling activities represents an opportunity for Vector to fast-track its geological understanding of these prospects and potentially identifying and progressing further drilling targets. The first results for the current drilling program are expected to be received by the Company in the new year, with sample analyses being completed in the DRC and South Africa. The increased activities at the Maniema Gold Project have provided an opportunity to work with the local and neighbouring communities, with various projects including road repairs and maintenance, drilling pad preparation and the upgrade of the Company's Exploration Camp facilities, which have provided employment opportunities with the local community. In addition to the company's ongoing exploration and diamond drilling activities at the Maniema Gold Project, the Company has been in discussions with a number of parties regarding the potential acquisition of a number of advanced major resource projects. Over the past month members of the Company's executive management team and representative of the Board have been in the DRC and Company completed technical due diligence site visits and meetings with key stakeholders. Detailed technical due diligence work is ongoing and negotiations on key commercial terms are being progressed.
