Arkle Resources (AIM:ARK) is pleased to announce that drilling has now been completed on the Inishowen Co. Donegal gold prospect. Core has been sent for analyses and results are due by the end of January.

The drilling program, designed to assess the main gold-bearing outcrop was successful in the identification of vein bearing structures in all four holes and is a positive indicator of the prospect's potential.

The positive results from this drilling campaign have allowed us to trace the main vein along strike and at depth and we are now positioned to expand our understanding of the geological potential in this region."
