Drilling Progress: Barton Gold's upgrade drilling for the 'Starter Pits' at the Tunkillia Gold Project is approximately 2/3 complete, ahead of schedule and under budget, with an average of over 300 meters drilled per day.
Financial Projections: The 'Stage 1' and 'Stage 2' areas are projected to yield 365,000 ounces of gold and an operating profit of A$1.3 billion in the first 2.5 years, with cash flows expected to repay development costs more than twice in the first year.
