Port Gregory Drilling program
The drilling program at Port Gregory, has been extended by two months to the end of February as part of HVY’s phased approach to the campaign. HVY is focused on key deliverables including JORC Mineral Resource definition, confidence in the Mineral Resource estimate and extension of the mineralised footprint. Importantly, HVY remains on target to deliver a Maiden JORC Mineral Resource in Q1 2022 as originally planned. The additional time drilling in January and February will allow the Company to finalise the resource definition component of the campaign, infill drill key mineralised zones to develop resource confidence and to extend the mineralised footprint of the project beyond the original target area.
Factors beyond HVY’s control such as COVID, changing drilling contractors and constraints on accessing suitably experienced field personnel have led to delays which did not permit HVY to finalise the resource definition drilling component of the campaign in 2021. Whilst the resource definition phase of the campaign remains on track, infill and extensional drilling have been delayed by no more than 6-8 weeks.
Additional Tenure Granted
With the granting of tenement E70/5934 on the 15[th ] of December 2021, HVY is now the largest tenure holder in the Port Gregory Region targeting Garnet mineralisation.
Tenement E70/5934 was applied for on the back of encouraging visual panning results at the eastern boundary of Tenement E70/5160.
Tenement E70/5160 is adjacent to GMA’s mining lease (M70/1380) and exploration license E70/3055
