CALGARY (Reuter): Tanqueray Resources Ltd said the Indonesian Ministry of Mines and Energy accepted Tanqueray's application to acquire a 90 percent interest in a mineral licence or working contract comprising 18,070 hectares in Indonesia.

Tanqueray said the licensed area, located in the western part of the Island of Java about 65 km south of Jakarta, covers Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rocks intruded by igneous stocks and dikes.

The contract lies in a well-mineralized area that includes two operating epithermal gold/silver mines at Cikotok and Gunung Pongkor, Tanqueray said.

It said prospecting, geological and geochemical surveys will begin in the near future at the site.
