As the graph above shows we have a raft of projects on the go, looking to move the resources on the right to the reserves on the left. I look forward to delivery of the upcoming drilling programme at Palm Valley and Dingo, as well as the other projects, which we will be talking to the market about as we finalise financing options over
the next short while.”
