Voyager commits to 25000m of RC and diamond drilling in Mongolia

Voyager Resources (ASX: VOR) has entered into a number of service contracts to facilitate the exploration of its key projects located in Mongolia. The focus of this is two initial drill contracts for 20,000 metres of diamond core drilling and a further 5,000 metres of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to be completed at the Khul Morit Copper Porphyry Project and the high grade Daltiin Ovor Gold Copper Project.

In addition to this, a number of geophysical and geochemical programmes are underway at Khongor and Khul Morit. It is anticipated that these surveys will extend the currently planned drill metres.

Key points:

Voyager Resources has entered into two separate drilling service contracts for the commencement of drilling at its Khongor, Khul Morit and Daltiin Ovor Copper and Copper Gold Projects in Mongolia.

A Reverse Circulation Drilling rig is scheduled to be mobilised to Khul Morit tomorrow to commence drill testing of high order Induced Polarisation geophysical anomalies and to follow up previously intersected high grade copper in drilling that has returned:

27 metres at 2.09% copper from 28.8 metres (KH04), including:

12.5 metres at 3.63 % copper from 43.3 metres

At completion of the RC programme, the rig will transfer to the Daltiin Ovor Copper Gold Project, where Voyager has recently renegotiated the terms of agreement with the Vendors. Previous drilling completed by Voyager in 2010 at Daltiin Ovor returned exceptional results including:

3 metres at 50.59 g/t gold, 4.0% copper & 31.3 g/t silver from 6 metres (DL_12_RC)
9 metres at 10.45 g/t gold, 0.8% copper & 16.8 g/t silver from 11 metres (DL_04_RC)
9 metres at 10.40 g/t gold, 0.9% copper & 14.3 g/t silver from 10 metres (DL_10_08_RC)
4 metres at 6.66 g/t gold, 0.6% copper & 6.75 g/t silver from 2 metres (DL_17_RC)

A diamond core drilling programme is now scheduled to commence at the Khongor Copper Gold Project by month’s end, drilling is aimed at testing the mineralised system at depth beneath recently completed shallow drilling, that has returned highly encouraging results, including:

70.1 metres at 0.6% copper and 0.15 g/t gold (KH0005D), including
53.94 metres at 0.7% copper and 0.18 g/t gold
11.19 metres at 1.8% copper and 0.57 g/t gold
7.0 metres at 2.0% copper, 0.47 g/t gold and 3.4 g/t silver (KH0010D)
37.8 metres at 0.8% copper, 0.15 g/t gold and 2.3 g/t silver (KH0024D), including:
25.1 metres at 1.1% copper, 0.21 g/t gold and 3.3 g/t silver
5.4 metres at 1.0% copper, 0.50 g/t gold and 1.9 g/t silver (KH0024D)
