the next stage of exploration works for that project. At Santa Teresa we are ready to move ahead with drilling once the permit is issued. Once we finalise the acquisition of the Northern Territory projects we aim to get into the field, subject to availability of geological staff. So,
it’s a busy period ahead of us also.”
