It’s been a frustrating month for our exploration team with more than 120 millimetres of rain recorded at the Hawkins Project on what is very flat country. The Exploration team has been eager to get back to site and get drilling underway with an RC program designed to test for a potentially large lead-zinc-silver mineralised footprint,” CEO, Chris Swallow, said.
