PERTH, Western Australia, Sept. 6 /CNW/ -
First Grade Control Drilling Shows 20 - 40% Better Grades
Adamus Resources Limited (ASX:ADU) is pleased to announce that the first phase of grade control drilling has been completed in preparation for production at the Nzema Gold Mine in the Southern Ashanti Region. Very positive results have been received for the first 353 holes completed on an 8m x 5m grid at Nugget Hill.
The drilling delineated the pit floor and returned significantly better results than the ore reserve estimate with an arithmetical average of 2.7 g/t Au. These results compare favorably to the existing ore reserve estimate for Teberru and Nugget Hill pits (Proven 832kt @ 1.96g/t Au, Probable 338kt @ 1.6g/t Au).
Confirmation Drilling Within Existing Nugget Hill Pit
Significant drilling results have been received in the area between the Nugget Hill and Teberru deposits on the Salman Trend.
Grade control of the Nugget Hill area highlighted potential for a northerly extension towards Teberru.
Results received for this drilling exercise are very encouraging and are expected to extend the newly interpreted orebody projections.
Exploration drilling commenced on this target during August testing to a depth averaging 80m. The aim was to infill gaps within 25m strike sections to test newly generated hard boundary wireframe interpretations. This will in turn assist in fine tuning the ongoing grade control drilling pattern and density.
Significant intercepts among the assays received to date include:

(ii) Reference standards, field duplicates and blank samples are routinely inserted at 1:20 and assays of quality control samples are routinely monitored. (iii) Assays are reported within the limits of 0.01g/t analytical precision.
New gold prospect identified at Hotopo
Soil sampling at the Hotopo Project, 35km southeast of Nzema, has identified an extensive area of anomalous gold.
The soil sampling was conducted over the southern portion of the project on a 200m x 50m grid. Using a (greater than)0.1ppm Au contour the anomaly extends at least 5km in a north-south orientation and is greater than 1km wide with peak values in excess of 1.5g/t Au.
Drilling is planned to further assess this newly identified prospect area.
The 2010 Exploration Plan has been finalised and drilling will focus on deep (150 meters below surface) RC and core drilling of the sulphide resource of the Salman Trend deposits and the delineation drilling of the oxide material at Aliva prospect.
Regular updates on the progress of grade control and exploration are planned.
