Trench No 57 included 145m @ 1.77 g/t, including 5m @ 6.33 g/t Au, 35m @ 2.08 g/t Au and 55m @ 2.28 g/t Au. 13 trenches now completed - trenching density to 25 metres. Republic Gold Managing Director, Mr John Kelly said that with the total infill trenching resulting in average grades of 70% higher than the oxide material in the mine model, we continue to be increasingly encouraged by the upside the Amayapampa project presents. Even when the one high result in Trench No 64 is removed, the average grade of these trenches is still 44% higher. A common metric in Australia combines grade and ore body thickness, and in this context Amayapampa demonstrates superior class.
