Sorrento Resources Ltd. has received the permit required to begin drilling at its Rodgers Cove gold project in Newfoundland and Labrador.

With the permit now in hand, Sorrento plans to move quickly. The drill rig currently operating at the company's Bottom Brook project will be mobilized to Rodgers Cove immediately following the completion of the Bottom Brook drilling program. The upcoming campaign is expected to include approximately 1,500 to 2,000 metres of diamond drilling designed to test priority targets and advance the project.
