Celsius Resources has posted a maiden indicated and inferred mineral resource of 313.8Mt @ 0.48% for 1.5Mt contained copper and 0.15g/t for 1.47Moz contained gold at the Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog project at Luzon Island in the Philippines, the key asset from its Sept 2020 acquisition of UK-based Anleck. It includes a high-grade core of 93.7Mt @ 0.8% Cu and 0.28g/t Au.
Australian-based Celsius says the resource will be the basis of a project scoping study starting this month focused on initial extraction of the high-grade core.
A drill program starting in Feb will focus on resource expansion, metallurgical and hydrological testwork and mine infrastructure planning.
