Boda Prospect
Initial Boda Resource released*
==> picture [376 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [376 x 219] intentionally omitted <==
ASX Release 30 May 2022. The equivalent calculation formula is AuEq(g/t) = Au(g/t) + Cu%/10031.1035*copper price ($/t)/gold price($/oz). The prices used were US$1,770/oz gold and US$9,750/t copper, and A$:US$0.70. Recoveries are assumed at 85% per economic element from preliminary metallurgical studies. Alkane considers the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
