Recent drilling success has warranted the bulk sampling plan at Golden Crown. The proposed bulk sampling will involve processing up to a total of ~8,000 tonnes of high-grade ore using a 30 tonne excavator or an equivalent machine capable of a 7 – 8 metre digging reach. This process will verify gold grades and assess mining feasibility.
