Sipa Resources (ASX:SRI) said its exploration team at the Tunkillia North and Nuckulla Hill gold projects in South Australia will undertake a heritage clearance survey with representatives of the Gawler Ranges Aboriginal, ahead of drilling on both projects, according to a Friday Australian bourse filing.
The survey is expected to take around five days, with the formal archaeologist's report expected to be completed in around a month.
The program for environmental protection and rehabilitation for the drilling programs has been submitted to South Australia's Department for Energy and Mining.
The company's shares tumbled 8% in recent Friday trade.
