Black Dragon Gold Corp. announced that it has commenced a 6 hole 2,200m exploration drilling programme on the Salave gold deposit in Asturias, Spain, following the receipt of approval from the Asturias Ministry of Employment, Industry & Tourism, as well as the Municipality of Tapia de Casariego. The programme will push deeper into the Salave Lower Zone with expected depths reaching 350m from surface (vertical), but with holes angled between 65° and 75°. Two drill rigs have been mobilized and all holes will be drilled from two locations, minimising surface disturbance, and reducing the time required to complete the programme. It is expected that the programme will be completed before the end of February 2018, with assay results expected to be received a few weeks following completion.
