‘This resource upgrade represents another major step forward in the Company’s plans for development of the Manono project. This update provides further assurances as to the demonstrated world-class scale, grade and nature of the Manono project. We are encouraged by the results of the upgrade in resource categories which were expected given the results of the drilling program. This ongoing work shows us that Manono will continue to grow significantly and will be underpinned by a high grade Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource for the Majority of the Roche Dure pegmatite drilled to date.’
According to the announcement, the greatly increased confidence levels of the Roche Dure Mineral resource is ‘more than sufficient to support the production schedules and financial modelling within the 5 Mtpa scoping’, now close to completion.
