Empire Metals Limited announced the commencement of the second phase of reverse circulation (RC) drilling and other field studies at the Eclipse Gold Project, located 55km north-east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (Eclipse or the Project). Overview: Commencement of an approximate 4,000m drilling programme, comprising over 40 holes, designed to infill the first phase drilling as well as test extensions to the mineralisation at Eclipse both along strike and at depth, including better definition of the near-surface resource potential; The drilling will also test known mineralised structures parallel to the main Eclipse vein, which have historically yielded attractive intersections (e.g. GD015 which intersected 2m @ 16.34 g/t Au from 66m downhole, in a structure that appears to be 20m north-east of the Eclipse vein trend). The confirmation of additional parallel mineralised veins could significantly enhance the surface open pit potential; Programme is expected to take four to six weeks to complete.
