Andiamo Exploration is a private company exploring for gold and base metals in Eritrea. It has a 723 square km exploration license with multiple targets identified through geophysics and drilling. At its Yacob Dewar target, aircore and diamond drilling of an oxide gold cap returned intersections up to 5.7 g/t gold. Further reverse circulation and diamond drilling is testing the deeper sulphide potential and assays are expected in June 2012. Additional targets on the license including Adi Meriray have returned disseminated and massive sulphides in initial drilling.
