Adding:
“The extent of the mineralisation is particularly pleasing for the company and provides further evidence that the Plateau gold deposit is an exceptionally large mineralised system.”
The latest finds are extremely bullish for the company over the long-term given the rising global oil prices, which could see its revenues surge significantly over the next few years.
