About Torian:
Torian Resources Ltd ( ASX:TNR ) is an Australian gold exploration and development company. The company has three advanced projects located in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.
Torian has recently entered into a $5m Joint Venture over the Zuleika project which is located along the world class Zuleika Shear. The projects lie north and partly along strike of several major gold deposits including Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST), Tribune Resources (ASX:TBR) and Rand Mining’s (ASX:RND) 7Moz East Kundana Joint Venture (EKJV) and Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN) Frogs Legs and White Foil deposits.
Since May 2015, Torian has increased its landholding by approximately 60% in this region via five separate acquisitions. The total land position at the Zuleika JV is now approximately 184km², making Torian the third largest landholder in this region.
Torian has commenced an aggressive four phase exploration program that is targeting the Zuleika Shear and intends to further consolidate ground in this highly prospective region.
Torian’s exploration team has an enviable track record of exploration success in this region including East Kundana (3.5 Moz) directly south of Torian’s Zuleika JV. This regional exploration success brings unique insight which the board believes will yield results.
Torian is commencing an exciting phase in its development and we look forward to updating the market on our progress in due course.
