RADIO HILL – NICKEL/COPPER

Metallurgical testwork commissioned to explore the potential for heap leaching operation

More than 300,000t of stockpiled material (no mining costs to be incurred) that will be subject to

the study and which could provide the basis for a 5 year operation.

Represents a low cost opportunity to produce high value end products.

Key infrastructure already in place and present at Radio Hill, including, power, water, workshops

and accommodation.
