Firefly Resources Ltd. advise that it has received significant initial assay results from its extensive grade control drilling program over the cornerstone Melville Gold Deposit at the 100%-owned Yalgoo Gold Project in Western Australia. The Company recently announced a maiden JORC 2012-compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 196,000oz for the Melville Deposit and immediately launched a close-spaced grade control program to follow up on the broad, shallow mineralisation observed in recent deeper resource-focused drilling. The recently completed grade control program comprised 612 shallow Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes completed at 10m spacings to an average depth of 12 metres for a total of 7,000m of drilling. It forms part of a much broader ongoing 30,000m drilling program aimed at growing the resource base across the Yalgoo Project. Around 50% of the assays have been returned so far with the balance expected in the coming weeks. The assays returned so far have confirmed the presence of an extensive blanket of shallow gold mineralisation extending over 100's of metres both along and across strike above the primary Mineral Resource.
