• The mineralisation is dense.
• There are high concentrations of gold in a small geographical area.
• The mining area is well connected and has sound infrastructure.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We have 125 years of data throughout the region that has never really been followed up systematically. ´

‘Nobody has looked at it through a $1,800 gold price lens, only through a $300 gold price lens.’

‘You've got forty-one million ounces spread across just a couple of miles - one of the most concentrated areas of high-grade gold mineralization in the world.’

‘It is located in a safe jurisdiction where you can operate and function with the rule of law.’
