Pronto drilling at Solomon Pillars

A $200,000 drilling program has been completed by Toronto-listed Pronto Explorations on Inco Ltd.’s Solomon Pillars property.

Pronto can earn a 50% interest in the property, 40 miles west of Geraldton, Ont., by spending $1 million over four years. To date, $300,000 has been spent.

Managed by Inco, the drill program consisted of 10 diamond drill holes totalling 6,022 ft. Among the results are 0.408 oz gold per ton over 1.3 ft; 0.712 oz over 1.6 ft, 0.35 oz over 0.9 ft; 0.139 oz over 2.4 ft; 0.123 oz over 4.9 ft and 0.362 oz over 5 ft.

Additional drilling at depth and along strike is planned for this year.
