Officials at Golden Band Resources say they’re pleased with some recent drilling results at the Roy Lloyd Gold Mine.

Vice-president Rodney Orr says more pockets of so-called “nuggety gold” have been discovered at the site.

He expects this will add another 15 months of life to the mine, although it could be more.

Orr says the life of the Roy Lloyd mine was originally expected to end around 8 months from now.
