Following two ARD large-scale mineral license areas being approved by the Sagaing Division government in January this year, ARD representatives made a follow up survey of the lands organized by the Ministry of Mines officials from the Department of Geological Survey and Exploration (DGSE). High grade gold and copper artisanal gold mines were discovered on this two week expedition. These findings further support ARD's theories of potential epithermal and mesothermal gold and porphyry copper deposits within ARD claims areas. Further details will be released once the mineral licenses are issued. Look for further exploration updates to these exciting discoveries.
