Havilah Resources Limited plans to commence an exploration drilling program in the first quarter of 2017 after an almost three year hiatus. The purpose of this announcement is to provide some relevant details about the various drilling targets that will give context for the exploration program rationale. The planned budget for this drilling is $0.5 million, of which 40% will be funded by the South Australian government under a PACE (Program for Accelerated Exploration) grant. The drilling program has been approved by the Department of State Development (DSD) and an aboriginal heritage survey will be conducted in the near future to clear all planned drilling areas. It is important to note that this regional exploration will not diminish ongoing drilling in and around the current Portia open pit to expand the mining resource base, which will be operated by a separate drilling crew. This is consistent with Havilah's objective to generate steady cash flow from a sustainable gold mining operation at Portia. Like the Portia Gold Mine, the various exploration targets lie on the Benagerie dome, which is currently viewed by Havilah as having the one of the lowest risk, highest reward greenfields copper-gold exploration profiles of any area within its entire 13,000 km2 tenement holding based on: Extensive mineralization identified by previous drilling, but with little subsequent follow up drilling; Within trucking distance of Portia Gold Mine and the proposed Kalkaroo copper processing facility; Geological settings and mineralization styles that can host world class mineral deposits.
