Arrow Minerals Ltd (ASX:AMD) has commenced a major 14,000-metre drilling program at the 100%-owned Strickland Gold Project in the Yilgarn Craton area of Western Australia.

Drilling commenced at the T6 Prospect where previous wide spaced drilling intersected 56 metres at 0.8 g/t gold including 24 metres at 1.6 g/t gold and 9 metres at 3.3 g/t gold.

The program will continue until the end of the year testing high priority prospects at T6, T2 and T1 Prospects.

The 14,000-metre fence line drill program will focus on the T6, T1 and T2, where significant gold mineralisation was intersected with reconnaissance drilling in 2017 and 2018.

Drilling at the T6 prospect will test six high priority targets which have been delineated by previous exploration work.

The drilling at T6 will comprise 20 fence lines of overlapping angled holes designed to intersect mineralised structures.

Drilling to be complete by end of December

Drilling will then continue at the T2 and T1 Prospects in late 2018 with a similar density of drilling.

The entire drill program is expected to be completed by the end of December 2018.

Assay results will be released separately for each prospect.
