From the company today
SUMMARY
- Stage 1 Project Enhancement Drilling Program completed
- Initial geological data indicates the mineralisation extends to depth
- Importantly, confirms shallow oxidation profile in the North Pit and Southern tenements
- Significant progress being made on the definitive feasibility study for Gabanintha and is on track for completion in the June quarter of 2019. This includes:
- Ongoing metallurgical testwork
- Engineering and Process work
- Close to finishing drilling program to generate bulk samples to use for larger scale testwork, in particular kiln testwork
- Strongly supported placement to raise $6 Million via new Institutional and HNW Investors
- Funds to accelerate DFS and progress toward the development of one of the highest grade, best quality, large scale vanadium projects in the world
- Vanadium market outlook and building relationships with potential customers
- Follow up meetings with potential offtake customers
- Supply constraints driving demand and vanadium price higher
- Expected Newsflow
- Assay results expected mid October through to December 2018
- Updated resource model early in 2019
- Data received to-date confirms mineralisation extends well below the pit design, should deliver a good increase in Indicated Resource category which will flow through to a larger Reserve
- Current geotech drilling program, data to proveup the ability to steepen the pit walls dramatically and built into the pitdesign
