Zopkhito gets $2.4M push towards JORC resource

Krakatoa Resources (ASX:KTA) has fresh capital and plenty of ground left to test at its Zopkhito Antimony-Gold Project in Georgia.

Executive Chairman Colin Locke explains how the company’s $2.4 million placement supports drilling aimed at converting Zopkhito’s historical foreign resource into a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate (MRE).

  • Fresh backing: $2.4 million raised from long-term investors
  • Resource drilling: Surface and underground diamond drilling continue
  • Conversion push: Work targets a maiden JORC-compliant MRE
  • Established scale: Historical foreign estimates cover ‘high-grade’ antimony and gold
  • Exploration upside: Much of the broader system remains to be investigated
  • Next catalyst: Assays are expected to provide the next read on Zopkhito

The historical numbers are already substantial.

Now Krakatoa has to prove them to modern standards.

About the guest and company:
Colin Locke is the executive chairman of Krakatoa Resources, an Australian exploration and development company advancing the Zopkhito Antimony-Gold Project in Georgia.
