“We are very pleased with the support from investors who recognise the significant potential of our Project and the deep value created by our systematic exploration to date.
“The funding we have secured will ensure we can maintain the momentum of our exploration throughout the upcoming drilling program which is testing several outstanding targets for massive nickel sulphides.”
