In addition, there is a conceptual resource extension target at Jejevo of a further 3 million to 5 million tonnes at 1.2% to 1.6% nickel.

The JORC mineral resource estimate for the Jejevo and Kolosori projects combined totals 21.7 million tonnes at 1.35% nickel.
Hamish Harris, Executive Chairman at Gunsynd, commented: “It’s pleasing to see momentum gathering on this project. Much progress has been made in 2021 and we look forward to receiving news on mining licence applications in the future”.
Gunsynd shares have jumped 2% to 1.12p following the announcement.
