Terra Firma to begin exploration program at Sulawesi project

Canadian-listed metal exploration firm Terra Firma Resources Inc. announced Tuesday that it has deployed its Indonesian field team to commence the initial exploration program at its Gold and Copper Property in South Sulawesi.

The initial field exploration program will be completed in two phases. The first phase will consist of geological mapping including structural, lithology and alteration mapping. The second phase of the program will consist of digging and sampling of trenches and test pits, the company said.

The locations of these will be based on information gathered during the first phase of the program. All samples collected from the property will be submitted to Intertek's Jakarta lab for geochemical analysis. The exploration program is expected to last approximately 5 weeks and will be led by Senior Geologist Andri Subandrio, with oversight being provided by Geologist Johannes Erasmus, Associate Senior Geologist of Micromine Consulting Services.

Brian Buchanan, CEO of Terra Firma said, "We are excited to start our NI43-101 compliant exploration program, along with completing a NI 43-101 report on this prospective Gold and Copper property acquisition in Sulawesi. This property fits well into our plan to develop a balanced portfolio of properties through a combination of grassroots prospecting, property acquisitions and the formation of strategic relationships in Sumatra and Sulawesi."
