The current twenty hole infill drilling programme has been completed and the results of a further three holes located in the southern portion of the deposit, where current mineral resources are in the Inferred category, and where the various tungsten zones converge, are reported on below. \n \nMain Points\n \n· All three holes encountered good intervals of tungsten mineralisation including: \nBAR-56 4 metres grading 0.94% WO3\nBAR-60 3 metres grading 3.79% WO3 (*2.39% with an upper-cut applied) and \n11 metres grading 1.32 WO3 (*0.88% with an upper-cut applied)\nBAR-61 2 metres grading 3.82% WO3 and \n2 metres grading 1.03% WO3\n \n· These infill drill hole results demonstrate overall continuity of the mineralisation.\n \n· Assay results for the outstanding fourteen holes will be released on a 4-5 week basis over the coming months and will be incorporated in a final mineral resource and a revised open pit design during the summer.\n \n· Drilling is now focussed on sterilisation holes on the proposed plant and waste dump sites.\n \n \nKerr Anderson, Ormonde's Managing Director, said:\n \n\"These results further enable the continuity of the mineralisation on the southern end of the deposit to be better established which will allow this part of the deposit to be included in the final mine plan\".\n \nNew Drilling Results\n \n\n\n\n\nHole\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\nWidth (m)\n\n\nTrue Width (m)\n\n\nWO3%\n\n\nWO3% (cut)*\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBAR-56\n\n\n156\n\n\n4.0\n\n\n2.7\n\n\n0.94\n\n\n0.94\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBAR-60\n\n\n108\n\n\n38.0\n\n\n25.5\n\n\n0.75\n\n\n0.51\n\n\n\n\nincluding\n\n\n108\n\n\n3\n\n\n2.0\n\n\n3.79\n\n\n2.39\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n115\n\n\n5\n\n\n3.4\n\n\n0.26\n\n\n0.26\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n126\n\n\n1\n\n\n0...
