Looks as though the whole project is about to be ' amped ' up considerably from here.
MRE looks to be just around the corner with Native Title clearance and subsequent mining lease approvals at the turn of this month if we're lucky.
Still awaiting more assay results , but given this announcement , they must be near release , and they must be good. And with an additional 200 holes approved , this looks set to grow exponentially given the MRE will be out before these holes are even drilled.
Interesting as well the appointment of Xirlatem for the drill and logging of the FOUR 500 metre diamond drill holes. Interesting because Xirlatem is headed up by Rick Gordon who has formerly been in instrumental geologist roles with Northern Star , IGO , as well as Gold Fields.
When he was at Northern Star , Rick worked at Northern Star as Geology Manager for Kanowna Belle as well as Exploration Manager for Kalgoorlie.
He was also involved in the discovery of a number of significant orebodies, including Pegasus , Paradigm North, and the Millennium deposit.
Previous to that , Rick was with IGO for 5 years where he worked at Long Nickel mine. At that time , he was an integral contributor to extending the McLeay and Long North orebodies as well as also discovering the the Moran deposit.
Prior to that he was with Gold Fields at the St Ives Gold Mine.
So I can't think of anyone better to be involved in potentially the next significant Kalgoorlie Gold Deposit in 2025 and look forward to more news to follow in the near term.
