TERTIARY STARTS DRILLING PROGRAMME IN SWEDEN
TO TEST FOR EXTENSIONS OF ZINC/SILVER DEPOSIT
Twelve Diamond Drill Holes Planned
Results Should Be Known During May
AIM-listed Tertiary Minerals plc announces that a diamond
drilling programme is now underway at its Windfall zinc/silver
project 50km NE of the Garpenberg base metal mine in south-
central Sweden. The main objectives of the current programme,
consisting of about 12 holes, are to extend the areas of known
high-grade mineralisation at the Vindfall and Sortarnan
prospects which lie along strike from each other, 1.5km apart.
Executive Chairman Mr. Patrick Cheetham said today: 'We will
be drilling a number of geophysical (IP) anomalies along strike
from, and semi-parallel to the main zinc zones as well as for
immediate extensions of known mineralisation to the NNE of each
prospect.'
Drilling will continue throughout April with results expected to
be known next month.
