CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Ordinary shares: 54,575,000 Options: 8,000,000 Performance shares: 3,300,000
Firebird Metals Limited ( ASX:FRB , “FRB” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that following the very successful IPO and listing on ASX, preparation for the 2021 exploration field season is well advanced.
The Company is planning to commence an infill and extensional RC drill program at the Oakover project with up to 5,000m of RC drilling being undertaken to deliver a new resource for Oakover and to provide a basis for ore reserve definition as part of the pre-feasibility study that is planned to commence in Q4 2021.
Previous drilling to the south west of the Oakover resource was restricted by the historical tenement boundary, the Company has increased its exploration footprint that now provides access to this exciting target directly along strike from the existing resource.
In addition to the resource drilling, PQ3 diamond core drilling and selective bulk samples will be collected across the Oakover project for updated metallurgical testing which will focus on beneficiation test work using both dense media separation and ore sorting as well as leaching test work.
The Company is pleased to advise that it has engaged CSA Global Pty Ltd (CSA Global) to provide technical and exploration support to the Company for the upcoming drilling campaign at the company’s Oakover Project and for CSA Global complete a Mineral Resource estimate as the Company looks to complete infill and extensional drilling at the Oakover project.
The company has also recently conducted site visits, with the Company’s board visiting Hill 616 and Oakover project including Karen, Sixty Sixer and Jayeye prospects
Firebird Metals Limited Managing Director Mr Peter Allen said “We are very pleased to have commenced work on the 2021 Exploration Program and have engaged CSA Global to oversee and provide technical support on the expansion of the Oakover Project. We look forward to working closely with all stakeholders as work gets underway at site during May 2021.”
He also said “The board was pleased to visit Oakover and Hill 616 following the Company’s listing on the 18[th] of March. Oakover is a great resource, and we look forward to the upcoming drilling and metallurgical testing work supported by CSA Global to further our understanding of the mineralisation and advance the project through to a pre-feasibility study later in 2021”.
The announcement has been authorised by the Board of Directors of Firebird Metals Ltd.
