Gold explorer Koonenberry (ASX:KNB)
has been granted the final approval it’s been seeking from the NSW Resources Regulator to begin activity at the never-before-drilled Bellagio prospect, about 160km north-east of Broken Hill in NSW.

Its aircore drilling program scheduled to commence this month is designed to test beneath multiple high-grade gold samples from outcropping quartz veins, including 39.4g/t gold and 22.5g/t gold rock chips, and a robust gold in soil anomaly with a maximum result of 33ppb Au.

MD Dan Power, said: “The long-awaited final approvals for Bellagio open the door for the first ever drilling program to test outcropping quartz veins which have returned some spectacular gold results to date.

KNB has a drilling contractor in mind and is set to get cracking on the prospect in coming weeks.

Valor Resources (ASX:VAL) has secured Autorización de Inicio (Permission to Begin Drilling) from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM), allowing it to commence the maiden drilling program at the Picha copper project in Peru.

This announcement comes just a month after the company reached an agreement to sell up to 80% of its interest the Picha project to Firetail Resources (ASX:FTL) to focus on its Canadian uranium portfolio. 

The maiden program of 5,000m of diamond drilling, has been planned to initially test four key targets – Cobremani, Cumbre Coya, Maricate and Fundicion – and will be conducted by Firetail.

And Azure Minerals’ (ASX:AZS) announced a monster hit from its emerging tier lithium discovery in the Pilbara of a 209m long intercept grading 1.42% Li2O. Outrageous.
