Story details

Inventus Mining said on 20 October that Phase 3 drilling had begun at its wholly owned Pardo gold project near Sudbury, Ontario. The company plans about 6,000 metres across 155 holes to test extensions of gold-bearing conglomerate layers and expand the area tested by drilling from 1.2 to 3.55 square kilometres. Work started on 14 October.

The campaign is proceeding alongside a maiden mineral resource estimate targeted for mid-November; that estimate is expected to cover only the previously drilled area. Inventus also plans to assess whether sulphide-rich Matinenda conglomerate could be upgraded through ore sorting for direct shipment, though further testing and commercial evaluation are needed. The announcement reports no new drill assay results.
