TPJ has recently had consultations with Newcrest and its other partners in the Manus Island joint venture. Newcrest, TPJ and the partners are encouraged by the geological prospectivity in the Manus Island licences and have decided to carry out further surface and geophysical work on the exploration prospects for up to the next twelve months in order to prioritise and understand better the exploration targets for potential follow up drilling in the future.
