Speaking to HotCopper in Week 32, Mr O’Donovan said the programme marked “a very important transitional point from planning meaningful works.”
“The IPO has been very successful since two and a half months ago; we’ve done some really value-add work in the fields, but now we really want to test the prospectivity of these projects, specifically Chalkos,” he said.
The move into drilling is a key step in turning field-based groundwork into direct testing of the target area, giving the company a first look at the mineralisation it has been advancing since listing. For investors following early-stage explorers, this is the stage where the project shifts from preparation to physical testing, and it is why the next updates from Chalkos will be closely watched.
