Commenting on the results, CEO Tim Mason said:
"Our team continues to progress towards our goal of re-opening Oracle Ridge - an underground copper mine of significance in Arizona. We aim to add value by enhancing, building and upgrading our mineral resources, while progressing with necessary steps to re-open the underground mine. This Quarter continued to see drilling results, especially in the Talon which hosts the discovery of new mineralised zones.
The recommissioning of the underground mine will enable underground drilling which will be far more cost effective compared to surface drilling. The recommissioned mine will also allow a future drill drive to be mined and ultimately the ability to commence mining with modest pre-production mining costs."
