Executive Chairman Mark Caruso commented : “Although a challenging period, this past half year will be remembered as a significant time for the Company. We started by delivering a DFS at Munglinup, received a prospecting right over the Northern Beaches and Inland strandline and immediately started drilling on both areas. This soon resulted in a maiden JORC resource over the Northern Beaches, with our geology teams also delivering a maiden JORC resource at Skaland.
