Kasbah Resources Limited announced that it has commenced a 5,000 metres diamond drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned Bou El Jaj (“BLJ”) Tin Project in Morocco. BLJ is located 15km by road to the southwest of Kasbah’s Achmmach tin project.
The initial 5,000m program commenced in September and is scheduled for completion in December 2012. Two new drilling rigs are operating, with a third scheduled to be supplied by the drilling contractor in early October. The objective of this initial drilling program is to test for shallow tin mineralisation potentially mineable by surface mining methods, up to 200m below natural surface.
If the initial drill program provides sufficient encouragement, Kasbah’s goal will be to define a mineral resource during 2013 that may be able to provide additional ore to the presently envisaged underground mining and ore treatment project at Achmmach.
