VANCOUVER (Yosefardi) – Barisan Gold Corporation has commenced drilling at hole UTD-007 at its Upper Tengkereng gold-copper porphyry discovery, located in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia.
Hole UTD-007 is being drilled using the second drill rig recently mobilized at site. The objectives of UTD-007 are to test the vertical true depth and length of the high-grade zone.
All three holes that have intersected the high-grade zone to date have entered and exited the high-grade zone on a horizontal axis.
As such, no information has so far been collected on how close to surface the high-grade zone reaches or the true depth of the high-grade zone.
Based only on drill results received at UTD-002, UTD-003 & UTD-005, the high-grade zone identified starts at approximately the 400-metre level true depth and ends at approximately the 700-metre level true depth. It is approximately 100-metre wide and 400-metre long on a northwest-southeast axis. The high-grade zone remains open in all directions as well as at depth.
