The Calibre deposit Inferred Mineral Resource has been estimated by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants and currently stands at:
47.8 million tonnes at 0.56 grams per tonne gold and 0.17 per cent copper for 867,000 ounces of gold and 81,000 tonnes of copper.

Calibre Mineral Resource and both deposits remain open in all directions,” the company said.
