2021 Program Highlights:
• Review construction timeline and offsite infrastructure costs to reduce initial capital cost and improve project valuation.
• Confirm throughput assumptions, metal recoveries and production and ensure a ‘fit for purpose’ process design flowsheet and associated equipment selection.
• Confirm opportunity to decrease the life of mine (“LOM”) strip ratio to reduce operational costs and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
• Review environmental baseline data requirements in accordance with the updated project configuration.
• Update regulatory requirements and associated permitting timeline.
• Continue to bring forward value recognition opportunities.

2022 Program Highlights
- Advancing the project with focus on key areas including Environmental, Communities, Permitting, Engineering and Geoscience.
- Review currently envisaged construction timeline and offsite infrastructure costs to reduce initial development cost, reduce the payback period and improve the overall investment case.
- Collection of additional metallurgical samples to confirm throughput assumptions, improve metal recoveries, and ensure a ‘fit for purpose’ process design flowsheet and associated equipment selection.
- Collection of additional geotechnical data in key areas to further improve the life of mine (“LOM”) strip ratio to reduce operational costs and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
- A review of environmental baseline data requirements in accordance with the updated project configuration and envisaged permit requirements.
