Red Hill’s Executive Chairman, Joshua Pitt, said: “The Curnamona tenements provide Red Hill with an opportunity to explore for Tier 1 Zinc-Lead-Silver deposits throughout the highly prospective Broken Hill region and an opportunity to advance a proven copper target at Anabama in South Australia. Red Hill is looking forward to working closely with Peel to apply systematic and innovative exploration approaches to unlock value from these tenements. The Company is excited to progress exploration of the Curnamona tenements in parallel with the West Pilbara Gold and Base Metals Project and will continue to assess future projects to add to the exploration portfolio”.
Key terms of the Heads of Agreement are included in the attachment to his announcement.
The parties intend to put in place a separate contracting agreement where Red Hill may utilise Peel’s existing team for exploration related activities.
