29 Mar 2007joint venture update● Neutral
Gippsland says the FALCON airborne survey over Kenya L-6 should start within a week and take about three weeks, covering over 6,000 line km. It is a scheduling update on the work that determines L-6 prospects.
Pancontinental repeats Gippsland's news that the L-6 airborne gravity survey starts within a week and takes about three weeks. The CEO adds that surveys across L-6, L-8 and L-9 aim to refine 2008-2009 drilling targets.
