The drilling strategy involves testing BHEM plates down-plunge and down-dip from both Selebi Main mine horizon and Selebi North deposit. CEO Morgan Lekstrom emphasizes this campaign's significance in unlocking substantial value and advancing their goal of becoming a major critical metals source in a Tier One mining jurisdiction.
