Resource Expansion
The Bisha Main deposit remains open to depth with the deepest drill intersection to date intercepting 128m of 8.4% Zinc, 0.96% Copper & 0.66g/t gold extending to approximately 375m vertical depth (Feasiblity open pit bottom is 240m). There is also a zone of relatively low grade, near surface copper mineralization in the hangingwall (Hangingwall copper zone), immediately west of the high grade Bisha massive sulphide deposit.
In addition to the growth opportunities of the Bisha Main deposit, continued exploration has lead to the discovery of two additional satellite deposits within the Bisha licences. The Northwest Zone, located approximately 1.5 km northwest of the Bisha Main Zone, within the mining license, and the Harena Deposit, located approximately 9.5 km, along strike, to the southwest of the Bisha Main Zone, on the exploration license. Future work is planned to better define these satellite deposits along with the hangingwall copper zone and the Bisha Main deposit's extent to depth, all of which have potential to provide significant supplemental mill feed to the Bisha processing facility. In addition there are further exploration targets identified along strike.
