What this means for a US$2m to 20m explorer
- 01 The next step costs US$45k: 0.2 to 2 percent of a US$2m to 20m annual programme.
- 02 Open ground. Apply through the Department of Mines cadastre; approval timing is not predicted here.
- 03 Copper is +48.1% over 12 months, which supports the case.
- 04 Confidence is high enough to plan a programme. Model cu-v3.2, accepted by T. Kgosi.
