Management's comments
De Grey manager director, Glenn Jardine stated the results confirmed the increasing scale and continuity of the resource at Hemi:
Results of extensional drilling completed this year at Falcon, Brolga, Aquila, Crow and Diucon/Eagle demonstrate that Hemi has more potential and remains open along strike and at depth. Results of infill drilling announced this year increasingly confirm continuity of mineralisation at each deposit and in the case of Crow, has identified multiple new sub-vertical lodes.
