Open-Pit Potential Identified
Drilling results indicate broader zones of lower-grade mineralization alongside high-grade structures, suggesting potential for more cost-effective open-pit mining methods at the Proserpine target.
-
Expanded Mineralized Footprint
The known mineralization at Proserpine has expanded to approximately 1.0 km along strike by 0.5 km in width, with mineralization remaining open in all directions within a larger 6.0 km x 1.0 km gold anomaly.
-
Significant Follow-Up Drilling Planned
The company plans an additional 26,500 meters of drilling, resuming with three rigs, to further expand the mineralized footprint and increase drillhole density at Proserpine.
