The company says that high resolution imagery recorded by the survey will be processed to deliver an accurate, gridded digital terrain (ground surface) model at both Depot Creek and Orokolo Bay that will enable accurate resource and reserve work to be completed.
The terrain model will also be used for infrastructure and associated mine planning as part of the ongoing feasibility study at Orokolo Bay and for planning the next phase of diamond core drilling at Depot Creek.
Managing director Paul Mulder said the completion of the Lidar survey was an important step in de‐risking both projects and addresses the gaps encountered with the topographic data.
"Our resource geologists and mine planners can now move forward with confidence with resource and reserve estimation work as well as with mine designs and infrastructure configuration," Mulder said.
