"With a $17m total budget this year for exploration at Bornite and the Arctic PFS, it will be a very busy and productive year ahead for the company. Major mining districts take time to develop and we are fortunate to have long-term support through our partnerships with NANA, AIDEA and South32, as well as continued support from our large shareholders."

The Arctic deposit is a high-grade copper-zinc-lead volcanogenic sulphide deposit.
