Nortec Minerals Corp. announced results from seven diamond core holes on the Tom 1 Target, Tomboko Project, Northeastern Guinea, West Africa. The core drilling program was halted pending receipt of the assays from the seven drill holes. This allowed to both conserve funds and time to interpret the geology and plan the next drilling phase. With the receipt of significant results in the last hole, TBDD0007, the next phase of drilling is expected to commence in late January 2018 to define and delineate the Priority 1 Target to the Southeast. This drilling will consist of less expensive Rotary Air Blast (RAB) and Reverse Circulation Drilling (RC). The drilling will also test the rest of the termite mound anomalies, geochemical soil and termite mound anomalies, as well as artisanal workings on the Tom 1, Tom 2 and Tom 3 targets. This is intended to further assist in defining target areas for carrying out an exploration program in a cost-efficient manner.
