The mining company, Minmet, through its subsidiary Crediton Minerals, has reported further evidence of elevated gold values in its exploration area known as the Crediton Trough in Devon.

Nine drillholes, totalling 393 metres, have been completed within the area and, on the basis of the results, Crediton will be expanding its exploration activities on a number of similar targets in the trough.

This programme will be conducted over the next two to three years and will involve a wide range of exploration techniques, including further drilling.
