The company said the mining lease application has entered assessment and community consultation, beginning the regulatory review required before a mining lease can be granted. During the quarter it also advanced metallurgical testwork, infrastructure planning, process design optimisation, procurement planning and mine development studies.
Investigator Silver said its approximately 30,000-metre drilling program began in late September after weather-related interruptions earlier in the year. It reported 24 holes for about 2,900 metres completed by quarter end, with the program intended to support resource-category conversion and assess mineralisation growth opportunities within and beyond the current DFS mine plan.
The company also reported identifying a silver-bearing epithermal system at the Theseus Prospect, about 7.5 kilometres southeast of Paris. Historical core sampling returned multiple silver-bearing intervals associated with epithermal alteration and base-metal mineralisation, which the company said highlighted the wider Paris Silver Corridor's prospectivity.
