CEO of Adriatic, Geraint Harris said:
“Our focus in early 2019 will be to extend the high-grade zones to the north and south-east and also to improve our understanding of the system between Rupice North and Jurasevac-Brestic. At Rupice we will declare a maiden resource estimate in the first half of this year. Also, metallurgical, geo- technical and hydro-geological studies are underway, which will feed into a scoping study, the exploitation permit application and ultimately a feasibility study. We look forward to a busy, and successful 2019.”
