The first drill hole at Rulikha is targeting the northern most IP anomaly (in the approximately 1550 m west to east and 1040 m north to south anomaly) immediately north of the Rulikha Deposit. The anomaly starts from approximately 100 m below surface and is open at depth.
Upon completion of drilling at Rulikha, the rig will move to the Talovskoye target.
Alex Walker, East Star CEO, commented: “The preparation work has been done. We’re now ready to find out if the Rulikha Deposit continues to the north, creating another significant deposit in the East Region. If successful, new discoveries will help with underutilised regional infrastructure and falling employment due to mine life depletion in this proud mining region of the world.”
