Nova Joint Venture project
The Barking Gecko prospect is located within the Nova Joint Venture project in Namibia.
In November 2016, Deep Yellow executed a joint venture agreement with Japanese Government Agency JOGMEC, covering exploration and development at the Nova Project. JOGMEC completed its earn-in of AUD$4.5 million over a 4 year period to earn a 39.5% interest in Nova.
The joint venture is applying innovative geophysical and geochemical exploration methods and systematic drilling to the discovery of buried mineralisation.
