International Enexco has started the drilling campaign at the Contact Copper project, which is located in the northeast part of Nevada.
Drilling east of Contact Copper's reserve base.
The design of the drilling campaign will include around 6,100 m, which targets the potential and in-fill resource extension to the eastern part of the present reserve base of the Contact Copper project.
The company has commenced drilling during November, 2011 using a reverse circulation (RC) drilling rig that has been contracted from DeLong Construction in Nevada. It has planned to start drilling during December, 2011 by means of a core drill rig contracted from Rocky Peak Drilling of Idaho. The company is expecting to complete the proposed drill campaign during the first quarter of 2012.
International Enexco’s CEO and President, Arnold Armstrong, commented that the company has considered the expansion and in-fill drill campaign has the capability to improve the financial side of the project. The current land holdings increase for the company has produced the opportunity to alter the project’s scope by focusing on the region of the limited former drilling to the eastern part of the previous project region.
