It is a large CoW and within that is the Martabe area, which at this stage comprises seven deposits. This year the company is focusing on: ��� Replacing depleted ore reserves from mining thus retaining current reserves and mine life; www.e-mj.com G-Resources is delighted with the work of its contractors at Martabe���Leighton Indonesia and Nusa Konstruksi. ��� Generating more resources from existing targets and new targets to provide longer mine life and potential to expand the operation; and ��� Focusing on a specific drilling program to identify a sulfide resource. Most of the deposits have significant sulfide mineralization at depth below the current pit outlines. G-Resources had drilled a number of metallurgical sulfide holes to generate samples, which have been taken, prepared and will be delivered to laboratories for a metallurgical sulfide test work program. ���On the larger CoW area we have a number of exciting targets and are working on the APRIL 2013 ��� E&MJ; 91
