Robust Resources Limited (ASX: ROL) is a Sydney-based miner exploring for Gold-Silver and Base Metals on Romang Island in Indonesia’s richly endowed Banda Magmatic Arc, 650km northwest of Darwin.
Robust is exploring highly prospective ground previously explored by Biliton (1990s). An initial 2000m drilling program with the Lakuwahi Caldera Project has identified wide zones of gold-zinc-silver-lead-copper mineralisation. All holes completed in the first round of drilling by Robust were open in every direction and at depth.
Robust is accelerating its exploration program in the 2010 financial year with a target of 5000m to be drilled using owner-operated diamond drill rigs and a local labour force for continuing economic efficiency.
With experienced management who have a track record of major discoveries, Robust holds a 51% interest in five mineral titles totalling 25,000ha covering the entire Romang Island, with an option to increase to 75%.
Robust Resources share price spike prompts ASX price query
Robust Resources (ASX:ROL) has replied to an ASX price query stating that it is not aware of any information that has not been announced which explain the share price spike, as all drilling results have been released to the market.
The company's shares hit an intra-day high of $2.10 today, compared to a $1.52 on Friday 24 September.
Robust did state in the ASX response, that believes that "share price increases may be due to its recent announcements concerning particularly good results being achieved in its drilling programme to date together with the fact that it has entered into an agreement which will result in all its Romang Island mining tenements being fully owned by the company whilst its issued share capital is only 65,108,110 shares and the consequent demand for shares."
"In addition recent significant rises in the gold price may well be having a positive effect on the company share price in view of the announced gold content on its mining tenements."
Robust shares have subsequently eased to $1.98 in intra-day afternoon trading.
