Echo Resources Limited announced exploration growth strategy. Focused on: Enhancing the already strong forecast returns of the Yandal Gold Project (Project) by investing in near term resource conversion and focused exploration to further improve the production profile and extend the mine life ahead of future production; and advancing discussions regarding regional asset and corporate consolidation. The exploration growth strategy is designed to realise additional value from the 1,600km2 of contiguous and highly prospective tenements in the world class yet underexplored Yandal Greenstone Gold belt in Western Australia, all in close proximate to Echo's existing production infrastructure. This new geological team, complimented with external geological consultants, have ranked and prioritised key targets within the tenement package that will form the focus of exploration. This strategy has four key objectives: Greenfields - Exploring the highly prospective greenfields granite hosted targets of the Hadrian Trend; Brownfields - Exploring brownfields targets in highly prospective tenement package including targets in close proximity to historic high-grade, multi-million-ounce underground mines; Advanced Projects - To rapidly progress the largest and most advanced projects to increase the Mineral Resource and to convert to Ore Reserves to extend the life of mine of the Project; and Target Generation - To undertake a thorough study to identify any gaps in tenement- wide datasets and develop a full pipeline of gold targets to realise the full potential of the Echo tenement package. Exploration Growth Strategy - Dynamic multi-pronged exploration strategy designed to quickly establish additional ore sources, increase production significantly above 100koz pa, extend mine-life and leverage existing infrastructure Echo's tenements have yielded 4Moz of gold production historically, the tenements offer substantial upside to the current 1.7Moz Mineral Resource and contain a combination of highly prospective greenfields, brownfields and advanced targets including: The Hadrian Trend corridor - adjacent to Northern Star Resource's 2018 Ramone discovery - Echo has completed geophysical interpretation and geochemical sampling, identifying numerous walk-up targets and first pass drilling comprising 8,800m of air core drilling will commence in May 2019. Bronzewing underground mine - A Jewel in the Crown - Limited drilling by Great Central Mines in 1994 identified two areas of structural repetition within 500m of the historic Bronzewing deposit which produced 2.3Moz - No drilling in these areas since 1994, Historic drill results include 5m @ 32.9 g/t Au from 192m (GCMBWRCD516) and 2m @ 46.8 g/t from 57m (GCMBWRC1471) and drill testing will commence in the 3rd quarter of 2019. Lotus underground mine - Opportunity Unfolds - Newmont ceased mining in 2003 due to the low gold price below AUD 600/oz, The Lotus was mined to 480m below surface at a grade of 7g/t, mineralisation continues at depth and has been modeled to 660m below surface, Modelling also shows the potential for a series of repetitious pods of mineralisation and drill testing will commence in the 3rd quarter of 2019. Resource extension drilling at Mt Joel and Corboys deposits to support future mine planning.
