A 5,000 m drill program that focuses on metallurgical (2,500 m) and geotechnical drilling (2,500 m) is proposed. The metallurgical drilling will allow for the collection of sufficient material to complete a metallurgical test program to meet Preliminary Economic Assessment industry standards definition. The geotechnical drilling will ensure sufficient data is available to support an updated mine plan design and identify opportunities to improve pit design and potentially further reduce the Strip Ratio as well as strengthening geotechnical assumptions of the modified Tailings Management Facility.
