MINING which should tell the world that IGO know how to optimise an asset . “ We believe the prospects for extending Nova ’ s life are very good ,” Bradford says . “ That is one of the attributes that attracted us to the project . This is the first discovery of its type in this new belt in Western Australia , and the first discovery of this style of mineralisation in the whole of Australia . It has features in common with Canadian deposits like Thompson , Raglan and Voisey ’ s Bay . We have opportunities to extend the mineralisation immediately around Nova , and also to look for additional occurrences further afield on the Fraser Range-Tropicana belt . This underexplored province has delivered two of Australia ’ s best gold and base metals discoveries in the last 10-15 years and we believe that there are more discoveries waiting to be made ” So expect IGO to be very active on all these fronts .
“ By drilling at depth under the existing Tropicana pits , most of which bottom out on the lack of drill information , where we expect to be able to significantly expand the known resources ”
