"Dupax was never a 200k oz resource"
There was way too much comment in interviews about Dupax happening and them already working on the EIA, which bought me in as an Investor.
Drilling ahead of performing Geophysics is not normally the path, but it looks like the company was rushing to get a resource asap to enable the repurposing of Runruno in time. Maybe the FPIC with the community was also rushed, prior to EL granting.
H&P in their note on 28th August were also talking potential numbers in excess of 200k oz per year, although never included any numbers in their valuation. Again, a bit of spin without a hole being drilled.
"Dupax exploration commencing, potential to extend to Runruno operations MTL was granted the exploration permit for the Dupax Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide base metal target in August. If developed, ore from the project could be processed at Runruno through a modified circuit potentially producing >200koz/year on a gold equivalent basis. Initially MTL is completing geophysical surveys to identify deeper targets with a 2,500m drill programme focused on high grade outcrops."
