Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented: "Swift progress continues at the Northern Zone Project, and we look forward to the next round of gold assay results, as well as the completion of the mineralisation report and application for a mining licence, enabling us to advance the project quickly. The more recent set of high-grade gold assays at the Northern Zone Project have continued to expand the gold mineralised footprint of the porphyry over a much larger area than originally anticipated and it has confirmed the presence of a significant gold mineralised system that is located just 25km east of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia."
