Join us as we speak with Ron Heeks, Managing Director at Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV), to explore the latest updates on the Mt Isa region and discuss how the newly secured Blockade Mine option strengthens the company’s copper strategy. We break down the geological potential, planned drilling, and how Blockade could evolve into a near-term development opportunity.
Key topics discussed:
- Acquisition of the Blockade Mine: A long-awaited deal now completed after several years of negotiation, providing Larvotto with a strategic, high-potential, near-surface copper asset within its existing landholding.
- Clear pathway to rapid development: With copper prices at record levels and the mine sitting on a permitted lease, Blockade could transition quickly toward production, with ore able to be trucked directly to Glencore at Mount Isa.
- Progress at Hillgrove Operation: Larvotto’s flagship project continues to advance, with around 40% of upgrades completed, 80 staff now onsite and a growing experienced team committed to relocating to Armadale.
