Southern Arc announces positive drilling results from Sumbawa gold prospect

Vancouver-based junior mineral explorer Southern Arc Minerals Inc. announced Tuesday that it had received positive assay results from a further eight diamond drill holes of its phase two drilling program at the Lemonga Gold Prospect located on Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara.

The company said eight holes were drilled to test lateral extensions of high-grade, gold-silver shoots intersected in an earlier scout drilling program, along with linear targets interpreted as extensions of known veins and breccia zones.

In all eight drill holes, significant widths of quartz veining and mineralized wall rock were intersected, said the company.(alex)
