Irish-based gold and copper explorer Persian Gold said it plans to complete a tonnage estimate of its Dalli interests in Iran by the end of March.

The company said following an extensive trenching programme at Dalli, 200km southwest of Tehran, it was compiling a detailed 3D model of the deposit.

The gold and copper prospect is in two distinct centres less than 2km apart and is a joint venture between Persian Gold (70 per cent) and local Iranian company Dorsa.
