(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors)Royal Road Minerals (CVE:RYR) formerly Tigris Resources said drilling is due to kick off at the Gömeç gold project in Western Turkey this week now that permits have been received. The programme is expected to total 3000 metres consisting of a combination of infill holes between the 100 meter spaced drill holes from the 2014 programme step out holes along and across strike of the previous drilling and exploratory holes on newly identified and previously undrilled targets along and adjacent to the 10km long gold mineralised ridge. Late last year the company carried out an exploratory reverse circulation drilling programme at the property. Notable results included 76 meters at 1.0 g/t (gram per ton) which included an intersection of 24 meters at 2.0g/t gold and 18.7g/t silver; another hole saw 56 meters at 1 g/t including 22 meters at 2.0g/t gold and 15.6g/t silver). "We have learned a lot from our recent field work at Gömeç and hope that this new knowledge will translate into some promising subsurface results" said Tim Coughlin Royal Road Mineral's president and chief executive. "Results from the IP coupled with what we are hoping to find in crystalline basement rocks underlying the mineralized volcanic sequence have added some particular excitement to this program. We expect the drill rig to commence work later this week." Gömeç has five contiguous exploration licenses and is an early-stage gold exploration project located in the hinterland of Balıkesir province immediately adjacent to Koza Gold's Kubaşlar gold project and 5km north of Bilfer's Ayazmant copper-iron skarn deposit.
