Updated flow modelling outlines potential for increased production from LSOP. Analysis of results from completed bores also demonstrates evidence of increased grade and sustainable pumping rates reducing number of bores required for operations.
Optimised LSOP model increases average annual SOP production from 170,000tpa to 205,000tpa and incorporates contemporary pricing and higher global SOP prices delivering Project NPV of $1.014billion.
High grade aircore results from the Lake Wells Gold Project show a mineralised corridor exceeding 9km in length, indicating prospectivity for hosting of significant gold deposit
