GEO Exploration Limited (LSE AIM: GEO) is pleased to announce it has entered

With the drilling contract now signed, final site preparations are underway
ahead of DDH1's mobilisation and the start of drilling which is on track for
this current quarter.
Callum Baxter, GEO's JV Partner commented:
"It is pleasing to be working again with DDH1 at the large Juno target. Our
combined experience and expertise will allow safe and efficient execution of
the drill program at the project to test the target. I am very excited that
drilling is scheduled to commence during the current quarter and look forward
to following the activities at site."

"We are delighted to be partnering with Australia's leading provider of
diamond drilling services for our maiden campaign at the Juno Project. DDH1's
outstanding safety record, operational excellence and proven track record make
them the ideal partner for this important next step.
Reuniting them with our JV partner Callum Baxter, who worked alongside DDH1
during Havieron's discovery phase, adds another layer of confidence and
capability to the programme. We remain on track and on schedule, and this
campaign marks the start of an exciting journey ahead with Juno Project."
