By GlobalDataThe Jelai project features low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver mineralisation hosted by the northerly striking and steeply west-dipping Mewet, Sembawang, Lipan and Nyabi vein systems.
The company has drilled more than 35,000m at its KSK copper project, which it says has the potential to be a world-class deposit.
The KSK project has been under joint venture to a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Exploration since April 2011.
The company received the required forestry permit in March 2012 to start drilling, which has been on-going since then.
