Thundelarra Ltd (ASX:THX) is set to increase exploration news flow over the next couple of months, with a second rig arriving at the Garden Gully Gold Project in Western Australia.
Historical gold production at Garden Gully totalled circa 21,000 gold ounces at an average grade of 21 g/t.
The reverse circulation drill rig collared the first hole of the follow-up program at Lydia and drilling is now well underway.
Drilling is designed to cover 13 holes for a total advance of about 3000 metres to 3500 metres.
It is expected that as the holes are drilled and logged, several will warrant completion or continuation by diamond tails.
Around 1000 metres of diamond tails are contemplated over a number of holes as the company's understanding of the geology and controlling structures grows at Lydia.
Garden Gully exploration
Since commencing exploration at Garden Gully in mid-2016, Thundelarra has drilled 85 reverse circulation holes for 13,721 metres, and two diamond holes covering 788 metres.
