AXG - Antipodes Gold [formerly GEL - Glass Earth]

[elZorro]

You know what? I hate loose ends. That's why I'm quite pleased that, finally, some drilling is going on at Game Hen in Otago. It's all in the latest news release.

Here's another timeline. We shareholders have to be patient, that's for sure.

1^st April 2008 (NZPAM article)
Similar ground mapping and soil/rock chip sampling is being carried out over the Gold and Pine targets (adjacent to the historic Gabriel's Gully site of the original gold discovery in Otago which began the 1860s gold rush) and Game Hen (adjacent to historic Hindon Gold workings) where targets are being prioritised by the coincidence of magnetic/EM identified shears, and surface gold anomalism.

August 22 2008
The drill rig will move to Game Hen (Hindon, central Otago) following the Sheep Wash drilling, where in-situ rock chips from Glass Earth mapping returned grab rock chip assays up to 44gm/t gold. Drilling of the Serpentine prospect is anticipated to follow this programme as spring clears access to this area.


May 2010:
Serpentine (GEG 90%)
A 12 hole program is planned to test a 12 km long shear zone, in a 1.5 km zone with gold in soils up to 1500ppb Gold, and rock chips ranging from 2 -- 30 g/t gold.

Game Hen / Hindon (GEG 90%)
A 12 hole program is scheduled to test a 12 m wide quartz shear, and co-incident carbonaceous shear, with individual rock chips in the 7-40 g/t gold range.


July 7 2011:
Otago Region –Field programmes to support the drilling of highly ranked Game Hen gold target is underway.

Jan 26th 2012:
The drilling of highly ranked Hindon and Game Hen gold targets has commenced.
