Persian to test Dalli prospect

PERSIAN Gold — the Irish-owned exploration company and one of the few Western firms operating in Iran — should have a clearer idea of its ability to reach the commercial threshold on its flagship Dalli prospect in the country by the end of March, at the latest.

The company, which is chaired by businessman John Teeling, is due to begin a 3D tonnage estimate on the prospect within the next couple of weeks, which should give an accurate picture on how deep the Dalli prospect is and how much gold and copper it may hold.

The estimate test should be completed before the end of the first quarter of this year.
