The base metal ore field is one of the world’s best mineralized zinc provinces and is considered highly prospective for new zinc discoveries.
It is home to the substantial Navan deposit (111 Mt @ 7.9% Zn & 1.9% Pb) with an in-situ metal value, if discovered today, of more than US$22 billion.
Stable fiscal and regulatory regime with excellent and cost-effective exploration service infrastructure zinc deposits are highly sought after by major mine developers due to the mining regime, and high quality zinc concentrates.
Poised for the next round of major discoveries, breakthroughs in seismic survey interpretation to locate structural traps and drilling focused exploration strategy will be used to test very prospective basin areas both along strike from known deposits and below previously explored surface levels.
