Our 2025 drilling has consistently intersected higher-grade mineralization over significant widths, highlighting the quality of the system. Results from the fourteen holes completed to date, together with our targeted improvements in recoveries from ongoing metallurgical fine grinding test work, are expected to support a more capital-efficient and economically robust open pit and underground development plan in an updated preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”), improving on the 2023 PEA3.”","length":720,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"The two holes intersected high-grade mineralization in both the Pit and Central Zones over significant widths.
