Codrus Minerals IPO l Competent Person’s Statement
Exploration Results
- The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Shannan Bamforth who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Bamforth is a permanent employee of Codrus Minerals and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Bamforth consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
No New Information
- This presentation contains references to Exploration Results and Exploration Targets, all of which are contained in the Company’s Prospectus released on the 5[th] of May 2021. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially effects the information in this announcement.
Exploration and Resource Targets
- Any discussion in relation to the potential quantity and grade of Exploration and Resource Targets is only conceptual in nature. While Codrus is continuing exploration programs aimed at reporting additional JORC compliant Mineral Resources, there has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resources.
Note – Full details on exploration results and JORC table 1 can be found in:
