Southern Cross Gold reports that it has increased drilling capacity at its 100%-owned Sunday Creek Project in Victoria with the addition of an extra drill rig.

The rig, which will mobilise to the project before the end of this month, will focus on extending and infilling mineralisation around the Apollo to Golden Dyke strike zone.

Following “spectacular” drill results at Southern Cross Gold’s Sunday Creek project in Victoria, the company will mobilise a second rig to the project before the end of the month.

Lisa Gibbons talks to the AFR to state there is enough momentum behind commodity prices to keep the industry drilling at a rapid pace.

Investors have been bidding the Southern Cross Gold share price higher today after the gold explorer released positive drilling results.

Southern Cross is now focusing its drilling in the area to target extensions, in the heart of what is mapped as a 10km mineralised trend that extends beyond drilling area.
