The fundraise allows us to build on the existing 930,000oz[1] gold resource at the Massan prospect, to establish the potential resource at the Bereko prospect, as well as initial exploration on additional early-stage targets.
RC drilling at both Massan and Bereko has progressed very well and our first assays are imminent. A second rig for diamond drilling is expected to commence in the next few weeks. The team and I are excited for what will be a transformational year ahead.’’
