Patrick Cheetham, Executive Chairman of Tertiary Minerals plc said:

"Our inaugural drill programme at Mushima North went smoothly and was extremely successful, meeting its objectives in full. The Mushima North area is quite remote and largely inaccessible for exploration during the wet season, so we are pleased to have completed the drill programme and demobilised the drill equipment before the onset of the rains."
