MD&A Highlights
Future Outlook
The resource definition drilling program at the Griffith Mine commenced in August of 2012 and 11 holes totalling 3730m were completed by 21 September 2012. The holes were drilled around the perimeter of the North Pit. Past production indicated the higher grades and larger resource are located towards the South end of the pit. This should be the priority area for delineation drilling. It is estimated that a minimum of 10,000 metres will be required on the south-west and north-east. Fence drilling can be carried out from the East side, and fan drilling farther South.
(NFE announced February 25th 2015 that they will be surveying and then drilling the southern part of Griffith)
