Dios Exploration is executing the diamond drilling again at the Shipshaw carbonatite complex, which are a few kilometers away from the Niobec mine in Quebec.
The company will test the new areas of the Shipshaw complex and the new prospective carbonatite targets that are outlined by a latest research work performed at the claims of the company neighboring the Niobec mine.
Dios executes phase I definition drill program to comprehend the geology of the Shipshaw carbonatite complex and the program had to be postponed owing to the spring break-up while the ground was soft and damp.
