Drill hits included 4.4m grading 41.9 grams per tonne gold, 12m at 25.8gpt and 12.6m at 18.1gpt.

"This confirms the potential for significant exploration upside to Salave's existing measured and indicated resource of 6.52 million tonnes at 4.51gpt, for 944,000 ounces of gold," Black Dragon said.

The drilling was undertaken ahead of scoping work on a new underground mine plan.
