Exploration
Exploration is a core growth driver for the company under a three-tiered strategy that involves mine district exploration, new discovery programs and project generation.
Our mine district exploration program takes place around our suite of operations and development sites to find opportunities to extend mine life.
Currently this program involves exploration activities around Sepon, Century, Golden Grove, Rosebery, Avebury and our projects in Canada.
There are a number of new discovery programs in Australia, Asia and the Americas that are actively pursuing a pipeline of new venture opportunities globally.
