The agreement allows exploration of the Fraser Range Project to be accelerated with IGO to apply its extensive Fraser Range expertise as the dominant regional player in the Fraser Range, particularly the knowledge it has gained through the development and operation of the world-class Nova Project, and its ability to fund ongoing exploration programs.
Importantly, Rumble will maintain an exposure to the ongoing exploration and development of the Fraser Range Project without additional financial commitment, given that it will be free-carried through to the first Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on any of the tenements.
The Agreement is consistent with Rumble’s decision to place greater focus of its resources and activities on its High Grade Lead- Zinc Braeside Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
