RNS is great news, but some of the gems are at the bottom of the RNS showing the potential of Plateau

Historic drilling by Esso in 1985 intersected:
89m@1.57 g/t Au & 40m@1.37 g/t Au

Trenching:
40m@ 1.37 g/t Au

Assays:
Surface rocks at Plateau returned 116g/t Au

Furthermore:
City Resources in 1988 intersected:
8m@3.03 g/t Au
10m@5.01 g/t Au
14m@2.44 g/t Au
6m@3.20 g/t Au
4m@ 4.79 g/t Au

These were all shallow holes with maximum depth 60m

Although Newmont missed gold in 2007, the single hole did intersect 300m of 2.2 g/t Ag - which shows the depth of mineralisation within the plateau prospect

The old Papua Mining map shows all the historical data - note that the BPL025 hole looks particularly close to the old Esso Hole
