The Company is pleased to announce, following the Company's operational update of 22 June 2015, the award of a contract to Bellgeo Enterprises Limited for the provision of airborne full tensor gradiometry data acquisition and processing services. The programme, which will commence in September 2015, will cover an area of mountainous desert and steppe, resulting in approximately 11,000 km2 of gravity gradiometry coverage.

The programme is designed to provide high-resolution gravity coverage, capable of resolving prospect scale structural features, to aid in correlation between 2D seismic profiles and extrapolate structural networks into frontier areas to optimize future exploration work. (This tri-axial gravity measurement is collected and processed in conjunction with high-resolution aero-magnetic surveys and lidar topographic profiles to precisely constrain both lithologic and terrain induced variability in the gravitational field.)
