The company’s managing director Bill Clayton said the POW approval will enable a 1,000 metre RC program of 15-20 holes targeting extensions to the existing high-grade gold lode where previous RC drilling returned a number of ore grade intercepts including 6m at 6.6g/t gold from 13m and 6m at 20.3g/t gold from 21m.

“Drilling will centre on a 150m anomalous gold trend to the northeast and southwest of the high-grade lode, identified by a recently auger sampling program. Lodestar has begun short-listing drilling contractors to conduct the program and expects to select the successful contractor in the coming weeks,” Mr Clayton said in a statement to the ASX.

“The program will begin immediately following the receipt of POW approval, subject to weather conditions at the Camel Hills project area.”
