EXPLORATION drilling at the Lights of Israel Complex (LOI) on the Makai and Great Ophir Lodes adjacent to Eastern Goldfields’ Davyhurst project in Western Australia has returned significant gold intersections. The results confirm that mineralisation at Makai and Great Ophir provides solid underground opportunities.
