Those results will feed into updated models and other technical workstreams, underpinning the upcoming pre-feasibility study.True North’s latest drilling follows a busy late-April period at its Mt Oxide project near Mt Isa, where the company launched a 23-hole, 6000-metre program. The drilling was aimed at expanding its recent Aquila copper-cobalt-silver discovery and sharpening its understanding of the structures that control mineralisation.The program has successfully targeted a combination of resource extensions, near-mine exploration opportunities and technical workstreams, with several areas continuing to demonstrate strong potential for further resource growth and mine life expansion. Our focus is on developing a robust and right-sized project with a credible near-term production pathway, supported by resource growth, improved geological confidence and disciplined technical studies. True North Copper managing director Andrew MooneyWith the Cloncurry rigs now parked up and Mt Oxide exploration underway, the company is positioning itself for a steady run of news as results land and development studies gather pace.If the rigs have done what they were sent out to do, True North should soon be piecing together a sturdier Cloncurry resource picture - the sort of groundwork that can turn a study timetable into a genuine near-term production pathway.With results on deck from June, the news flow could remain nicely primed.Is your ASX-listed company doing something interesting?
