Exploration company Ormonde Mining has reported further positive exploration results from its Salamanca gold project in Western Spain.
Ormonde has increased the width of the zone under exploration from 200 metres to 500 metres. Also the total length of the zone has been increased to 2.5 kilometres.
Ormonde's managing director, Kerr Anderson, said that initial drilling during the summer months will test the overall grade across the zone, but indications from early rock samples are impressive.
In January, Ormonde reported that results from a soil sampling programme had produced a gold anomaly over a part of its permit area, where no previous mineral traces had been identified.
Ormonde has agreements with two Spanish companies to earn a 90% interest in the Salamanca project, by staged funding of exploration totalling €2.2m over a five year period.
Meanwhile Glencar Mining has reported that its recently completed drilling campaign in southern Mali has intersected further significant ore grade gold mineralisation.
