Matthew O’Kane, Managing Director of Comet Resources, commented “We had a busy Quarter, with exploration programs being advanced at the Barraba and Santa Teresa Projects, as well as acquiring some very prospective new copper-gold projects in the Northern Territory and
completing a financing with strategic investors. We also provided an update on progress on the metallurgical test program for Springdale, which we plan to complete in Q3. In Q2 we will have the results from the initial geophysics program at Barraba shortly, and will then plan
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.”
