Brendan Cummins: Brendan Cummins, Executive Director of Black Canyon, down here at the RIU Explorers Conference in Fremantle.
I was here last year and I think this year is bigger and better than it was last year. There’s 1,800 people around here.
There is a lot of interest in the booth, which has been fantastic, talking to a lot of different people, investors and also other delegates attending the conference.
So in 2022, we had a really big year on the Flanagan Bore Project, our manganese project. I’d dare say its the flagship project for the company and we did two rounds of drilling, a resource upgrade, a scoping study showing really strong financial metrics and now we’ve started getting into the details of the advancing the feasibility study, looking at making a manganese concentrate and hopefully we will get some really exciting news coming out of that in the next quarter or two and also exploration on our 2,500 square kilometers of ground that we have in the East Pilbara as well. Looking for both manganese shales but also for hydrothermal manganese deposits as well.
