Actually the company has not recom menced mining operations, but is engaged on a churn drilling exnloratory pro gramme, recently approved bv a special meeting of shareholders. The drilling commenced about October last and it is

expected to take six to nine months.

It is understood that many of the old employees have requested to be re engaged.
