EXPLORATION – OCTOBER 2025

October – November Exploration Update

We’re excited to share recent operational milestones from our Sokdee and Vangma copper-gold-molybdenum projects, where our exploration and community teams continue to advance critical work on the ground — safely and steadily.

Here’s what’s been happening onsite:
🔹Zero safety issues recorded — even as the weather shifted from rainy to cool & cloudy
🔹Continued 100x100m geological mapping at Flank–Milky Way prospect
🔹Grab rock samples collected as part of mapping in November
🔹 All drill pads ready for scout drilling in Sokdee & Vangma — minor drainage repairs done post-monsoon to stop erosion, runoff, and fix access roads after heavy rains
🔹 Drill rig mobilization planned for week of 24th November
🔹 Additional compensation ensured for landowners affected by runoff during monsoon
🔹 Strong collaboration with Central Government (MOAE, MOIC) & Provincial/District authorities
🔹 Active community engagement to explain work program (mapping and drilling, as well as improving rural roads)

What stands out most:
Despite seasonal challenges, our team continues to move with precision, respect, and integrity – in the field, with landowners, villagers and through government engagement. Rainfall this monsoon season was about 25% higher than usual (2,200mm vs 1,680mm), delaying the start of drilling.

This is how responsible exploration looks in practice.
This is how we advance toward discovery — together.
