Strategic Expansion Through Phased Exploration

The company’s current drilling strategy is divided into multiple phases. Results from the second phase of the diamond drilling campaign have already outlined deeper gold-bearing intersections, north of prior targets. These outcomes are contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the subsurface geology and helping refine the ongoing approach.

Phase 3 has now commenced, encompassing 38 new holes, with drilling planned from surface down to greater depths. This next step aims to uncover further mineralisation and enhance the scale of known deposits. On-site activities are supported by both diamond and reverse circulation rigs, allowing continuous progress on multiple fronts.

Strengthening Long-Term Resource Insights

Ora Banda’s ongoing exploration initiative at Little Gem forms part of a broader resource development plan. The company is strategically deploying funds toward multiple drilling programs across its portfolio, designed to deliver clearer resource insights and long-term value. With sustained effort, the Little Gem discovery is shaping up to play a more prominent role in the company's development roadmap.
