Metal Bank Executive Chair, Ines Scotland, commented:

“During the Quarter we have made significant advances at all of our projects.

In Western Australia, we are continuing our strategic and resource review on our Livingstone Gold Project. This is a valuable project, supported by a very robust gold market, and we are focused on unlocking the value.

We have progressed our three-tier strategy in Saudi: our JV Company with our former partner for the Jabal Sayid Project has been awarded the Wadi Al Junah project following the Round 6 Auctions; our geologists have reviewed available data, conducted field work and assays are awaited; and we have also furthered discussions with industry participants who hold granted licences regarding potential co-operation.

We have now secured exploration rights over two areas in addition to our original Malaqa project in Jordan and we are in discussions with a local company regarding a JV on the projects to offset our time and funding requirements.

In Queensland, graphite analysis of previous drilling samples at our Millennium project returned thick, high grade intersections, which will be followed up with further drilling and metallurgical testing aimed at adding further value to this project”.
