The drilling contractor is Intan Mulia CV, a drilling company from Jakarta. The program is under the technical direction of Apolo's consulting geologist, Sonny Gerson.
The program calls for a minimum of 10 holes, all south of the existing adit on the property and is estimated to cost about C$100,000 to complete. Each of the holes is designed to intersect several veins at points below the artisanal workings. These artisanal workings are in general at depths from surface down to 30 meters. Hole # AG1-02-06, angled at 45 degrees intersected #1 vein at approximately 67 meters down the hole. The hole is currently at 82 meters and is expected to intersect vein #2 at or about 90 meters down the hole. Two holes have been drilled to date and the next hole will be approximately 65 meters to the south of hole #2. The drilling program underway will attempt to determine additional depth in the ore zone.
The HQ diameter core is now being logged and sample intervals will be split and sent for assay at PT. Intertek Utama Services, an accredited laboratory located in Jakarta.(alex)
