  • Charaque Project in Peru (“Charaque”): Minera Barrick Perú S.A., a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation (collectively, ‘Barrick’), has continued its exploration program at Charaque with further geological mapping and rock chip sampling, centred on the Teresa target.
  • Asset base well positioned to leverage strong Copper and Silver commodity prices


Commenting on the March Quarter, Firetail's Executive Chairman, Brett Grosvenor, said:

“It has been a positive quarter for Firetail, and it has been great to see the progress that our team has made in Peru in broadening our understanding of the copper / base metals system at Picha. With each new target drilled we gain more insight into the mineralisation, and it has been particularly encouraging to have the drilling result to validate our exploration model. In summary, our maiden drill campaign at Picha has been highly sucessful with several minrealisaed intersections reported.

“We are also pleased to see work moving forward at the Charaque Project through the Barrick team under the earn-in agreement on this project. We look forward to providing more news as the program of mapping and surveying is advanced.

“In closing, I’d like to thank the Firetail team for their excellent work and all of our shareholders for their ongoing support.”
