Annamite’s subsidiary Lao Hyundae Black Stone (LHBS), together with its partner Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX), is pleased to announce the commencement of core drilling at Mouk prospect in its Sokdee Project.

Four inclined core holes are planned, for a total of 1600 – 2000 metres: the first drill-test of a multi-element soil anomaly that coincides with a depth-extensive chargeability response, both extending 1600m along strike and probably representing a partly eroded porphyry system. Based on the results, additional core holes could be drilled at either Namthom or Mouk prospect.
