Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN, DAX: YM4) has received the final heritage survey report from the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation (NAC) for the Andover South Project.
The report confirms the absence of culturally sensitive areas within the key drilling targets, which will impact on the planned drilling. This development paves the way for commencing drilling activities across the project.
Preparations begin for maiden drilling at Andover South
The project area covers E47/4061 & E47/4062. With the final heritage report for Andover South received, the company is progressing discussions with drilling contractors, aiming to commence maiden drilling program (reverse circulation and diamond drilling), pending regulatory approvals.
The company plans to appoint a drill contractor after obtaining the final heritage report for Andover North project and finalising the full drilling works program.
Additionally, an air core drilling program is planned for the Andover South project, with a preliminary air core drill program for the Andover North project pending the final heritage survey report for that area.
The objective of the air core exploration campaign is to assess potential pegmatite-hosted mineralisation on E47/3849 and E47/4063 in Andover North, as well as areas of Andover South where pegmatite hosted mineralisation is expected to be present beneath shallow sediment cover.
