Management comments
Chairman, Gordon Galt, welcomed the news saying:
The intersection in LEFR260 is outstanding by any measure and is quite exciting. LEX will follow up as soon as possible. We will need to look north, south, east and deeper from this discovery hole to establish the structure/s which have delivered this intersection. The next phase of drilling is being scheduled now and will include immediate diamond drilling to extend and support the mineralisation discovered in LEFR260.
