Torian would like to thank all of its shareholders for their support and welcomes new shareholders, including institutional shareholders introduced by Mahe Capital to the register.
Executive Director Peretz Schapiro said, "We would like to thank our shareholders for the strong support they have shown us during this capital raise, demonstrating their strong commitment to the company. We would also like to thank Mahe Capital, who have been outstanding in introducing Torian to new shareholders, who have clearly recognised the value in our ~400km2 of tenure in the Eastern Goldfields, and our commitment to a systematic exploration approach.
We are now well funded to commence a 5,000m RC drilling campaign at Mt Stirling to test the depth and strike extent of the existing JORC resource. This will be followed by an approximate 10,000m drilling campaign at Diorite, where our recent sampling program returned rock chips of up to 21 g/t Au in the vicinity of the historic 73 g/t Diorite King mine.
With almost 13 Moz in resource located within the immediate neighbourhood of our Mt Stirling Gold Camp, including Red 5's King of the Hills, St Barbara's Gwalia and Saracen's Thunderbox mines, we are confident that the Leanora region is a great location to be pursuing new major discoveries".
