Exploration planned for 2011 is about 110,000m, which is an 83% increase over the 2010 exploration program, the company said.
Extra condemnation drilling will be performed for stockpile and facility sites necessary for final design, construction plans and expansion scenarios.
During 2010, Romarco focused on three drilling objectives comprising step-out drilling to expand the overall mineralized footprint at Haile, infill drilling to convert inferred ounces to the measured and indicated categories, and condemnation drilling to identify available areas for production related facilities.
The company claims that it successfully fulfilled all three objectives and plans to target areas such as the Mill Zone, Horseshoe, Snake Deep, and West Ledbetter for continued expansion in 2011.
