Commenting on the latest Tunkillia JORC Resources update, Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said:

"We are pleased to report that further drilling and optimisation analyses confirm additional mineralisation extending beyond previous block models, Mineral Resources Estimates and pit optimisations for the Tunkillia Project. We are also pleased to declare a 3.1Moz silver JORC Resource as a subset of the 1.6Moz gold Resource.

"Combined with the material efficiencies and power savings we are targeting in our comminution modelling, we anticipate that Tunkillia's forthcoming Optimised Scoping Study will yield much improved economics."
