-
Fivefold increase in quoted Resource at Baneygo
-
Does not yet include Idaho or the sparsely drilled but mineralised 4km along strike to the south of Baneygo.
-
This resource will be used as the basis for an Ore Reserve estimate later in the March 2016 quarter.
-
Highlights the potential to add significant resource ounces along the highly prospective 20km Rosemont-Baneygo shear where previous drilling is sparse and largely ineffective (mostly less than 50m deep holes).
