"With winter conditions receding, our team will be back on site in the next few weeks to continue to implement this year's fully funded exploration programme...Encouraging results have already been achieved and with an expanded land package now in place, we look forward to building momentum at Defender-Pine Crow throughout the coming field season," Chief Executive Ed Loye says.

The project remains within the approved capex budget of GBP5 million, with a current forecast spend of GBP4.67 million.
