Mr Sparke takes up the role as Executive Director, Corporate and is a specialist advisor in corporate services for small and mid-capitalised ASX listed companies with a strong track record in building medium and longer-term share registers for emerging companies.

In line with Alt's intention to fast track the Mt Ida and Bottle Creek Gold Project's resource definition the Company will re-commence its RC drilling programs at the Emu, Southwark, VB and Cascade deposits. Drilling is scheduled to start later in September 2018 with the Company drilling known historical ore shoots beneath the VB pit, infill drilling between the Emu and Southwark deposits and an extensive 150 hole shallow RC program covering the known mineralised laterite zones at Southwark and Emu.
Assays from the recently completed RC program undertaken at Emu and Cascade deposits are currently being received from ALS Laboratories and results will be announced to the market in the coming weeks with a resource upgrade expected to be announced once all results are modelled.
The Mt Ida Gold Project is rapidly evolving into a promising emerging development project with multiple exploration and mining targets. In combination with existing Mineral Resources within the Mt Ida Gold Project, at the Quinns and Mt Ida South Projects, Alt has undertaken extensive resource drilling at the Bottle Creek Gold Project recently announcing the maiden resource at Bottle Creek(see Note below).
Alt Resources is committed to advancing the Mt Ida and Bottle Creek Gold Project's towards development. A number of technical studies are currently underway to facilitate this goal, including mine planning and pit optimisation. The Company has recently completed a review of the historical Post Mine Assessment and Review of Metallurgical Operations completed by METS Engineering and will now commence new metallurgical test work and consider plant design and operational factors based on the METS review.
