Through gridded sampling at the deposit, along with randomly spaced historical drilling and radiometric data, the company has discovered anomalies extending from Saraya with a strike of more than 25km.

Termite mound sampling is progressing at the project. As of now, exploration has only covered 40% of the tenement.

Mineralisation orientation work at the Diobi, Mandankoli and Sanela anomalies is due to commence soon to define the next anomaly for drilling outside the Saraya deposit. Drilling is anticipated in late November or early December 2023.
