Drilling Advances At Feni Island Gold-Copper Project
PORT MORESBY, PAPUA NEW GUINEA - Adyton Resources Corporation has been drilling on its Feni Island Gold-Copper Project in PNG. Two core drilling rigs have been deployed, with plans to operate both rigs continuously on day and night shifts. Adyton contracted Zenex drilling from Lihir to undertake the program, targeting to drill up to 8000 m.
"This is a significant milestone and following on from the commencement of drilling on our Fergusson Island project in December 2024 funded via our JV demonstrates Adytons ability to advance our on-the-ground activities in PNG in an efficient and effective way," stated Tim Crossley, Chief Executive Officer. "Commencement of an approximately 8000 m diamond drill program is a significant milestone being the first time Adyton has drilled on Feni since its successful 2021 program."
The geological setting and mineralisation style at Lihir and Feni suggest a high exploration potential of the latter where the mineralisation is concealed by young volcanic cover. Given the geological similarities to Lihir and the Island Chains prolific history of Tier 1 discoveries, we are very confident that as a result of this drill campaign, Adyton will be able to significantly expand on its existing foundation MRE of 1.46 Moz and demonstrate that Feni supports a large scale, expandable and rich mineral system.
