“Previous work done in the area has outlined an extensive mineralised system where shallow near surface exploration has the potential to delineate shallow JORC Resources.”
Frontier has proposed to series of exploration activities to investigate the project area, including:
Review available regional literature including geological models and historical exploration data
Field mapping
Extensive surface sampling and testing
Auger, push tube and aircore drilling
