Tethyan Resources plc announced results from seven holes totaling 2,450 metres of core drilling at the Rudnica copper-gold porphyry project in southwest Serbia. The results include some of the strongest mineralization encountered to date and suggest that the system remains open to the south and southeast where it dips under shallow cover. Highlights of Rudnica Drilling: Significant drill intercepts include: 142 metres at 0.51% copper and 0.31 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold (hole RDD- 012, from surface). Including 50 metres at 1.20% copper and 0.25 g/t gold (from a depth of 78 metres). 335 metres at 0.36% copper and 0.31 g/t gold (hole RDD-014, from a depth of 68 metres). Including 59 metres at 0.70% copper and 0.37 g/t gold (from a depth of 142 metres). Holes RDD-012, RDD-014 and RDD-015 ended in significant copper-gold porphyry mineralization, which remains open at depth. The drill holes followed previously-released drill results from Rudnica which included: 567 metres at 0.28% copper and 0.45 g/t gold (hole RDD-001, from surface), 291 metres at 0.31% copper and 0.32 g/t gold (hole RDD-003, from a depth of 42 metres), 428 metres at 0.34% copper and 0.27 g/t gold (hole RDD-004, from surface). Three scout drill holes totalling 862 metres were drilled at Rudnica North to test anomalous gold and molybdenum in soil sampling and coincident geophysical anomalies. All three holes intercepted near-surface porphyry- style veining over narrow low-grade intervals, hosted in advanced argillic and argillic-altered diorite porphyry dykes. The drilling results at Rudnica North demonstrate the presence of an intact porphyry centre with only minor erosion, located approximately 750 metres to the north of Rudnica. The holes at Rudnica North were terminated early due to poor ground conditions and, therefore, only the peripheries of the chargeability and magnetic anomalies were tested. Follow up drilling will be planned in due course.
