Sihayo Drill Program
Currently one drill rig is operating at Pungkut, drilling for possible additional mineralisation in the vicinity of the existing Sihayo 1 North resource from the Old Camp target area towards Sihayo 2.

Oropa intends to ramp up the drilling program in coming months, increasing the number of drill rigs onsite to accelerate pre-feasibility work, including the infill drilling required to bring about an upgrade in resource category from Inferred to Indicated Resource status, as per JORC guidelines.

Consideration of Hydro Electric Power alternatives
