Westcore Announces Commencement of New Airborne Gravity Survey

The survey area was selected to cover previously defined coal targets as determined from airborne GEOTEM electromagnetic surveys conducted in 2008 - 2009. These targets include those on the Black Diamond property that were drill tested in 2010 and proven to contain significant intercepts of coal (see previous Westcore news releases dated March 22 and April 8, 2010). The flight-line spacing in the previous GEOTEM surveys was 300 metres, while the current Gravity survey will be flown at a tighter spacing of 150 metres. The purpose of the Gravity survey is to define the boundaries of both the known coal basins and potential targets with much greater accuracy, which will make drilling each target more cost efficient by reducing the number of holes needed to define the basin boundaries.
