Stavely Minerals’ Managing Director, Mr Chris Cairns said – “We are delighted to enter into this agreement significantly expanding our access to exploration areas within the highly prospective Stavely Volcanic Belt. We believe the Stavely Volcanic Belt has the potential to host multiple alkalic copper-gold porphyry deposits and is significantly underexplored compared to the Lachlan Fold Belt in neighbouring New South Wales. We look forward to a strong working relationship with the Navarre Minerals management and technical staff.”
Yours sincerely,
