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. ”
