Aldoro Resources (ASX:ARN) says diamond drilling preparations continue at pace at the Kameelburg project for the maiden 2,000m drilling program, which is expected to commence in the next fortnight.
Both the Nock 300 and Nock 600 drilling rigs have arrived at site and have been commissioned. The rigs have crawler flexibility and track construction to drill pads is 70% complete.
The company says water bores, high pressure pipelines and solar pumping installations have been completed and will supply water to be used for drilling operations in addition to providing the local community with an improved ability to access water for stock and local farming operations.
Aldoro continues to engage and involve the local community where possible. Approval has been received to allow drilling operations to occur on a 24-hour basis, local community members have been employed to assist with the drilling program and the geology resources have been bolstered with the appointment of three new geologists to assist in logging and drill core review.
Aldoro says the expanded pre-drill trenching program is nearing completion and data will be cross referenced with the assays from the rock chip sampling programs to confirm the final drill hole locations.
