Verde Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: VRDR) is pleased to provide an update on the recent exploration conducted by the in-house geological team for lode gold resources at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Mine in Pahang, Malaysia.
The preliminary drilling program of over 50 meters in 2 drillholes at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Mine has yielded encouraging results for high grade lode gold potential. Samples were collected at four different targets of the preliminary drilling program. The initial assay results of the first batch of core samples have been encouraging.

In parallel, the production of alluvial gold at Site IV-1 of the Merapoh Mine is proceeding as planned.
