The objective of the drill program is to confirm drill results from previous work on the project, increase the confidence in the estimated Inferred mineral Resource reported last year to such a level that it, or part of it, can be upgraded to the Indicated category, and to add additional inferred resources from the middle of the evaporite basin.    From Wordnik.com.  [Marketwire - Breaking News Releases]
