Pacgold’s Managing Director, Matthew Boyes, commented:
“The Wallis drill crew performed excellently throughout this drill program and have completed the Aircore programme safely and on time with all the samples now submitted..“This program is crucial to the development of drill targets over the extent of this vast IP anomaly and the Alice River fault structure. I am very keen to see the first batches of assays come in after the encouraging visuals that were logged during the drilling campaign..“The RC campaign has also progressed very well and exceeded our planned production rates. The Centurion team, while abiding by our strict company heritage and ecological policies, have provided a quality product and produced an excellent sample quality..“The RC rig will not be mobilised backto Cairns for the summer period and will be available to start a significantly larger programme in late Q1 2025.”
