Apollo Consolidated Limited announced that just over 5,000m of aircore drilling has been completed during December at the Antoinette gold anomaly on the Company's Boundiali permit. Extensive aircore drilling has been planned for the current dry-season to identify additional mineralised positions suitable for Reverse Circulation (RC) testing. Inaugural RC drilling at Trench Zone in the northern part of the anomaly has demonstrated that aircore drill intercepts can progress to significant gold discovery. Aircore drilling during December has been testing an area 1km to the southwest of Trench Zone, where reconnaissance aircore traverses early 2016 located stockwork-hosted gold mineralisation in a granodiorite intrusive. New traverses on local- grid (315 degree) orientation have established that the granodiorite host rock extends over a considerable area and a number of holes have intersected zones of quartz veining. The Antoinette anomaly lies in a soil-covered area and is underlain by deeply-weathered rock types. Aircore drilling provides a fast and cost-effective test of geology and structure in this type of terrain. Analytical results for the December campaign are expected around mid-January and will be released once received and interpreted. Aircore drilling will now progress further to the southwest along the regional NE-SW shear corridor as crop access allows.
