Objectives of Diamond Drilling Program

The July 2021 diamond program is primarily a production-focused program , designed to provide the necessary detail to advance Aurora Tank to production , including:

1. Geotechnical: design of optimal pit walls at Aurora Tank

2. Bulk Density measurements: Required for completing (a) resource estimation and (b) scoping/feasibility studies

3. Bulk samples to enable final phase metallurgical testing across:

  • a) different weathering zones (from strongly weathered oxide zones to deeper fresh rock) and b) different areas of the deposit, including the first diamond drilling in the high-grade NW flank

Marmota Chairman, Dr Colin Rose, said:

We are delighted to get the long-awaited diamond drilling program underway. This program is focused primarily on advancing Aurora Tank to production . Marmota is also planning a separate RC program aimed at further exploration and growth, following the diamond program. We are carrying out the diamond program first, as our priority is to get the necessary scoping/feasibility/final metallurgical studies completed as soon as possible.
