- Diamond drilling at RDK Prospect underway, drillholes SIDD003 and SIDD004 now complete. Results pending

Lykos Metals Managing Director Mladen Stevanovic said:
“Our concurrent exploration programs are well underway at the Sinjakovo and Cajnice projects.
“The Sinjakovo Project continues to surprise on the upside as our exploration program advances, and the Company was delighted to identify volcanic “diatreme” gold-bearing breccia complex from the first trench of the program at the Zekil Prospect.
“The results from follow up sampling at Zekil were highly encouraging and, due to the shallow habitus of this gold mineralisation from surface, Lykos believes the grades could be economically interesting. We look forward to updating the market as further results come to hand.
“At Cajnice, drilling is progressing well. The exploration team continues to grow its knowledge of the mineralisation in the Gramusovici Prospect. At the Berkovici Prospect, twinning of historic holes will follow up exceptionally high-grade historic lead intercepts that were not assayed for precious metals.”
