Highlights
-
Trial pits were excavated proving greater depths than expected at West Avoca, indicating the presence of a larger tonnage of spoils and tailings than was originally estimated in the CSA Global Report (2019).
-
The gold assays from the trial pits combined with the expected increase in tonnage implies the existing gold Exploration Target at West Avoca is likely to represent an underestimate. Significantly elevated copper, lead and silver grades are also present.
-
Furthermore, IMC will commission an update of the existing West Avoca Exploration Target with the objective of upgrading it to an Inferred Resource.
