ORD holds a 49% interest in Sino Australian Resources (Laos) Co., Ltd (“SARCO”), a joint venture company between ORD and China Nonferrous Metal Industry’s Foreign Engineering and Construction Co., Ltd (“NFC”). SARCO contracted Sinomine Resource Exploration Co., Ltd (“Sinomines”) to carry out a feasibility study valued at A$5.3million. Summary of Field Work ORD is pleased to report that field work for tenement LSI has been completed.

Sinomines has completed drilling a total of 1,195 holes with 9,387.56 meters in depth. 1,012 holes with 8,072.39 meters in depth were drilled in LSI. Yuqida has had 183 holes drilled so far with 1,315.17 meters in depth.

Managing Director, Peter Shou said, “We thank Sinomines for its hard work and look forward to continuing the field work after the wet season. We are confident that there will be positive results derived from such an extensive work program.
