Harz Minerals is about to start.
The Landesamt für Bergbau, Energie und Geologie in
Clausthal-Zellerfeld has given the green light to start with the
drilling. On 22 October the drill rig and crew of Soumen Malmi Oy
(SMOY), a drilling company from Finland, member of the Drillcon
Group, arrived on the drilling location. The rig and all equipment
is being prepared and within a few days drilling will commence.
The drilling programme exists initially of four holes between
250 and 450 m depth to test the electromagnetic anomaly that was
discovered during the airborne TEM survey in 2008. This test phase
is expected to be finished before Christmas 2009.
