We currently have over twenty personnel on site, comprising a terrific support crew, a geological reconnaissance crew, an on-ground geophysics crew and the drilling crew. This funding, combined with the recent strategic relationship and funding entered into with Sandfire Resources (refer ASX announcement on 10th July 2018 "White Rock enters into Strategic Relationship with Sandfire") not only ensures we are fully funded to execute our current exploration program, but to further extend those activities deep into the current Summer season.
