This is a fantastic outcome for Alchemy and a great endorsement for the Karonie project. The Farm-in and JV deal gives a clear path for exploration at Roe Hills in the medium term, and along with our existing gold exploration plans in the region, provides JOGMEC and Alchemy the best opportunity for exploration success in the region. Exploration has been ongoing through the year and has resulted in the delineation of several priority targets which we plan on testing once the requisite approvals are in place.
