Further, the tenement rationalisation has resulted in a reduction in tenement area to about 489km² from approximately 806 km².

Medusa Mining CEO Geoff Davis said: "Our core tenements have many years of exploration ahead as our substantial pipeline of prospects is systematically assessed and more are likely to be identified over time.

"Rationalisation of our tenement areas has been undertaken now that sufficient regional to detailed knowledge is available regarding prospectivity, as well as considerations such as competing land use and accessibility.

The company is said to have acquired a portfolio of tenements with numerous prospects over the last eleven years, ranging in stages of advancement from ‘greenfields’ through to ‘resource definition’.

At present, only the Bananghilig and Saugon deposits have resources besides the operating Co-O mine.

Prior to advancing the scoping studies, Bananghilig is undergoing further geological work and Saugon is yet to be prioritised with respect to scoping studies.

According Medusa Mining, there are various tenement applications still in the process of approval and that the majority of prospects are located within the granted tenements.
