The first results have been received for the 18 hole, 1,128.65 metre program of drilling that was completed at the Sjöliden and Sjöliden SE targets on the Harpsund Joint Venture area. Results have been received from 5 holes, returning a best intercept of 1.00m @ 3.54 g/t gold (Appendix 12). Assays for 13 holes are pending.
The Harpsund Joint Venture area is located immediately adjacent to Dragon Mining’s Exploration Permit holding at Svartliden, and is situated 4 kilometres northeast of the Svartliden Gold Mine. The Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with listed Swedish exploration company Botnia Exploration AB (Botnia) to earn up to 80% in Botnia’s Exploration Permits in this area.
