Gati Al-Jebouri, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Pembridge said:

"We are very encouraged to see these results, which indicate that there is a lot of potential to find further high-grade copper and precious metal lenses near to the mine's existing resources. They give a strong start for the planned 2022 exploration programme, which I believe will confirm my expectations of a much longer Minto life of mine to the currently confirmed remaining 7 years ."
