The bulk of these programs will focus on the KNP Cobalt Zone through reserve definition (e.g. Patricia Anne deposit at Goongarrie South), resource upgrades (e.g. Black Range and Kalpini), and elevation of appropriate outlying deposits to the KNP Cobalt Zone. The results of these drill programs will be used to define mining schedules that will be integral to the DFS.
