The ongoing exploration in the Roskear area aims to explore extensions of known mineralisation and assess priority targets based on historic and recent geological interpretations.
The drilling programme of around 2,400m has reached a notable milestone with the completion of drill-hole SDD26_001A. This drill-hole, extending to more than 1,199m, intersected several mineralised structures including quartz-tourmaline veining with visible cassiterite and sulphide mineralisation, indicating potential expansions beyond current resource estimates.
