The high-resolution drone survey has helped identify copper-gold drill targets.

The programme plans to complete 12 to 15 drill holes exceeding 12 000 m and is focused on making new copper-gold porphyry discoveries.

The net proceeds of the Placing will be used to advance Clontarf’s lithium projects in Bolivia, and neighbouring countries.

A new collaboration between BHP and Microsoft has used artificial intelligence and machine learning with the aim of improving copper recovery at the world’s largest copper mine.

The drilling has extended and confirmed the deeper zone of continuous mineralisation hosting significant gold, copper and zinc with intercept thickness of over 50 m.

Of the 22 samples collected, all returned elevated gold and 15 returned assays greater than 1 g/t gold including five samples over 100 g/t with a peak value of 186.6 g/t.
