I look forward to the commencement of ore haulage from the Vivien Mine this quarter as well as growing the overall life-of-mine of the business, whether that be by brownfields exploration at Milky Way for example or by project acquisition”.
“Further to this, drilling will commence this week beneath the Milky Way open pit and also at Kathleen Valley, looking for additional mine-life extensions.”
