An approval has been secured to progress with drilling, however, this is subject to finalising timelines with a drilling contractor.
“Our immediate priority is to commence drilling the Arya prospect, targeting the interpreted massive sulphide and supergene ore targets,” Managing Director Simon Paull said.
“Encouragingly, with eight additional prospects on the radar, there remains a substantial pipeline of exploratory work ahead to complete at the Mt Oxide pillar,” he added.
