Thunderstr­uck has announced that two sea containers have arrived in Fiji containing two drill rigs.

The container also brought with it other equipment intended for explorator­y drill programmes.

Drilling will commence at Liwa Creek gold asset and its Korokayiu zinc/copper asset.

Lloyd Gale, who will be in charge of in-country drilling, has also arrived safely in country.

“We would like to thank the Fijian government for creating a special travel exemption and coronaviru­s (COVID-19) quarantine programme to allow the company’s drill team to safely enter Fiji,” said Thunderstr­uck president and chief executive officer Bryce Bradley.

“This exemption shows the country’s commitment to exploratio­n and developmen­t having successful­ly eradicated COVID-19 through stringent travel restrictio­ns.

“We could not be happier to work amongst the hard-working people of

Fiji.”

Each Thunderstr­uck employee will be required to quarantine for 14 days in a Government supervised hotel to ensure compliance.

Once this quarantine period has been satisfied the drill team will be deployed to site and drilling will commence.
