New Ventures

Since listing, III has reviewed a significant number of potential new prospects.

We look for prospects and projects that play to our strengths and strategies. We will continue to do that.

==> picture [43 x 541] intentionally omitted <==

To Summarise

Exploration Strategy:

Use our strengths especially geophysics to fast-track drill targeting.

Keep a drill turning, testing targets that are strongly supported by geophysics, geochemistry and geology. Turn as many properties over as resources permit. Target metals with short lead time to production. : Development Strategy

Move quickly to develop major finds using our skills, networks and backers . Farm-out smaller development opportunities.
