Aprelskaya Area
This area lies 15km west from Pioneer. Gold grades are beginning to appear in exploration of this area, and some promising areas for detailed exploration have been identified. A northwest/south-east line of mapping holes has intersected gold mineralisation in several holes on 20 metre spacing over a distance of 100 metres; a core sample from one of these yielded a grade of 8.4 g/t. Within the main belt of ore zones, a number of intersections of higher grades has been identified (grades from 3 to 8 g/t) which needs to be followed up.
