Highlights
· Due diligence by Xtract to verify legal and beneficial ownership of the tenements satisfactorily completed
· All ProspectOre shareholders have agreed to exchange their holdings in ProspectOre for Xtract shares, subject to Australian regulatory approval
· Initial planning for drilling program completed and permitting process under way
· On completion, Xtract plans to drill up to nine holes, in two phases, at the Racecourse deposit to extend the thickest and highest grade copper-gold mineralisation within the Racecourse deposit to the northwest, beyond previous drilling limits
· Particular interest will focus on zones of secondary gold enhancement - where up to 6m @ 2.5g/t Au and 1m @ 11.1g/t Au was encountered by previous drilling within the wide copper-gold mineralised intervals
· On drilling completion, Xtract plans to re-estimate the Racecourse mineral resource under JORC (2012)
· As previously reported the Racecourse mineral resource, on the Bushranger Project, was estimated in 2018 as 71Mt @ 0.44% Cu and 0.064g/t Au, at a 0.3% Cu cut-off, and has been classified as Inferred in accordance with JORC (2012)
