Textbook Exploration

  • VTEM & magnetic anomaly in prospective unit – Ruins Dolerite

  • FLEM survey – Design hole, test plate.

Discovery in First Drill Program

  • High-grade polymetallic massive sulphide

  • KMRC022: 16m @ 2.2% Cu, 38.7g/t Ag, 6.6g/t Au, 0.4% Co.

  • Thickness appears to be increasing down-dip.

Lessons Learnt

 Shallow Regolith Cover

  • ~4-6m thick across Project

  • Dispersion of pathfinders from ore beneath black soil cover – Cu, Pb, Zn, As

 Amenable to Surface Geochemistry

  • Penetrate through cover

  • Gather geochemical dataset

Resource Conversion & Metallurgy

  • Looking to define a camp with potential of >20Mt Cu resource.

  • Collect samples for metallurgical testing

  • Deliver resources and scoping studies

Orion Framework Drilling

  • What is the lateral and down-dip extent of Orion?

  • Has only been tested down to 100m vertical depth & EM suggests it extends >500m.

Further Exploration

  • Auger drilling to generate more targets for the pipeline

  • RC & DDH Drilling

  • Geophysical surveys – FLEM/DHEM
