Company Statement:
Augur discovered the Homeville nickel and cobalt deposit in 2008 (JORC inferred resource of 12.2Mt at 0.91% nickel and 0.06% cobalt) and continues to seek to define further JORC compliant resources using advanced exploration techniques and extensive drilling programs within our key project areas. Our aim is then to develop the economically viable resources.
The company has a highly experienced Board and Management team, which includes extensive local and international experience in the exploration and development of mineral deposits including porphyry copper-gold, epithermal gold-silver and base-metal deposits.
At Yeoval the company is focussed on advancing a number of porphyry style mineralised prospects. The project area is located approximately 55km from the Northparkes copper-gold mine (50Mt at 1.4% copper and 0.4 g/t gold) and approximately 90 km from the world class porphyry deposits at Cadia (554 Mt at 0.14% copper and 0.55 g/t gold) and Ridgeway (231 Mt at 0.4% copper and 0.83 g/t gold).
