Sydney - Thursday - July 10: (RWE Australian Business News) - Herald Resources (ASX:HER) reports a further substantial increase in the resource estimate at its Lae Jehe deposit at the Dairi zinc/lead project in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The updated estimated Combined Resources at Lae Jehe are 11.3Mt at 10.5% zinc, 5.7% lead and 5g/t silver. The Lae Jehe prospect is located about 1.5km north of the main Anjing Hitam orebody and 800m north of the planned concentrator site and is the most advanced target to provide future mill feed following the initial 7 years mine life at Anjing Hitam. The resources still remain open along strike in both directions and at depth and there is thus very good potential for increasing the Lae Jehe resources with the ongoing drill programme. Drillhole SOP292D, which intersected 10.7m @ 9.4% zinc, 4.8% lead, has extended the known resources at Lae Jehe by making an intersection south of the previous southern boundary of the resource model.
