Share Talk took the opportunity to arrange an interview with Tom Kelly CEO, Director & Gaz Bisht Executive Director (China) to ask a few questions and listen to what the company has in store for shareholders.  Here is the list of questions we asked  So the spud date for the Jade prospect is being targeted for 15th to 30th December, can you tell me how long it will take for the well to be drilled and how soon afterwards the results will be known and announced to the market? In the RNS you say that from your 3D seismic, that the basin is a classic “fill to spill” setup, can you explain what you mean by this? Upon making a commercial discovery what percentage will Empyrean have?  Would you then look to take this into production or bring in another partner? Are there any nearby pr

Alien Metals Ltd (LSE AIM: UFO), The latest Hancock iron ore production results in the Pilbara region, Western Australia, support the project's potential to become a standalone producer of direct shipping ore (DSO). Initial results of the second drilling phase showed significant widths in DSO-grade intersections at surface at Sirius Extension Project. All intersections at the Sirius project point towards a contiguous DSO-grade deposit with the best initial results from drilling the second phase. These include 47 metres at 61.50%, 78 meters at 61.20% iron and 88 metres @ 60.60% iron. Chief executive Bill Brodie Good stated that "Our Hancock iron ore project is shaping up as a significant development opportunity to Alien." TPI provides its latest research note on Alien Metals Limited "We now have almost all of the data necessary to calculate a maiden JORC resource at Sirius and have defined DSO-grade iron ore for a strike length exceeding 350m at the Sirius extension prospect.

What a week for shareholders after the company announced World-Class Intersection at Sanankorowith 19m @ 31.56 g/t Au from 65m at Zone A. Bert Monro, CEO of Cora, commented, "This drill programme continues to go from strength to strength. 19m @ 31.56 g/t Au is by far the most significant drill hole that Cora has ever drilled. This hole sits outside the existing inferred resource pit shell, starting 50m deeper than the current resource pit shell, so offers even greater upside to the Sanankoro Gold Project. This programme is continuing to deliver very high-grade oxide drill results from shallow depths, offering significant economic potential for the upcoming resource and DFS. https://www.share-talk.com/bert-monro-ceo-of-cora-gold-limited-cora-l-interview-3/

Panther Metals announced the results of its auger drilling programme over part of its majority-owned Merolia Gold Project in Western Australia. We caught up with Darren Hazelwood, CEO of Panther to update shareholders on yesterday's announcement. Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are very pleased with the results of this first auger drilling programme over the Merolia Gold Project.

There are also several other more subtle gold anomalies which trend approximately NW-SE, extending from the Comet Well gold trend in the north. These gold anomalies are also coincident with anomalism in several other elements, which support the likelihood of primary gold mineralisation in the vicinity. The Company is now evaluating the opportunities to progress this project towards an reverse circualtion drilling programme to test these anomalies and several other gold
