“This financing will also allow us to fast track the exploration and development of the Aurora zone at Björkdal, where initial drilling has indicated significantly higher overall grades and thicknesses than Björkdal’s average reserve grade and mineral thicknesses.

“We also intend to fund further exploration activities at both Costerfield and Björkdal, following up on particularly promising near-mine prospects that emerged out of exploration drilling work completed in 2018.”
