VANCOUVER (Yosefardi) – Barisan Gold Corporation is in the process of mobilizing a second drill rig to its Upper Tengkereng gold-copper porphyry discovery, located in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia.
Following successful drill results in the first five holes, Barisan Gold is accelerating the drill program at Upper Tengkereng by mobilizing a second drill rig to site.
The second rig will test the numerous high-grade zones intersected to date as well as test a number soil geochemistry anomalies identified during surface mapping and sampling programs.
In addition, the second drill rig will also test the large limestone cover lying to the east and north of the mineral intrusive for potential high grade copper-gold skarn mineralization and the hydrothermal breccia cover lying to the south of the diorite footprint.
PT. Indodrill Indonesia, the current drilling operator at Upper Tengkereng, is in the process of moving a second rig to site, which has the same capacity (1,750 metres) as the current rig. The rig is schedule to arrive in the next two weeks and will immediately be put to use.
Barisan Gold will immediately begin prepping a new drill pad location where the second rig will shortly begin drilling hole UTD-007. The drill pad will be located across the highway drilling back in the opposite direction of holes UTD-002 and UTD-005 on the same axis.
