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.
