	Globeinvestor.com: Golconda Resources Ltd.: Drilling Starts at Wapawekka, Saskatchewan
		A diamond drill program carried out by Golconda in 2001 intersected a large massive sulfide lens of magnetic pyrrhotite for a distance of about 600 m.
		Results showed that the massive sulfide lens intersected by Golconda appears to continue for another 1.2 km to the south, with the magnetic values increasing in that direction.
		The increase in base and precious metal values encountered in the 2001 drilling over a distance of 600 m (highest values were: copper 0.1%, zinc 0.42%, gold 47 ppb, and silver 2.2 ppm) is very important as Golconda drilled only the tail end (600m) of a 1.8 km long anomaly.
