"We've had a couple of very good structural geologists look at it and give us a view and they all think it's amazing and likely to repeat, but they can't tell us where, so we just have to keep gathering more and more information and looking at what's going on there.
"But we've never seen a sedimentary deposit with these types of grades, particularly in gold and copper, with the zinc and lead. And the barite is really interesting too - it provides another tool geologically that we can use to try and understand what's going on here."
Cronin says one of the most amazing things about the story is an unexpected find at the site of the old Veovaca plant.
"The plant itself had been totally vandalised, and wasn't usable, but there was one very big Soviet-style administration block and the ground floor - all the windows were broken, the radiators had been ripped out and the metal was gone, but we climbed up onto the second floor and the third floor and scattered all over the floor and covered in bird droppings and damaged by snow and everything else, were these typed-up reports, all perfectly bound," he said.
"We started picking them up and flicking through them and we realised they were basically a history of all the exploration that had been done in Yugoslavia between 1960 and 1990 in Bosnia. There would have been maybe 1500 of these typed reports.
"We gathered them all up, drove them to Sarajevo and cleaned them up. We hired a guy to systematically go through and read them and prioritise them to which ones needed translating and digitising. In all of that information we found drillhole logs, details of work that had been done on adits, trenching, all over the region."
