From 68 samples, the company found acid soluble copper ranging from 0.41% to 0.92% in crusts, “clearly” demonstrating the presence of copper in water at surface.

EGT said that the results also indicated potential for gold, with samples of up to 1.48 g/t gold in waste near the edge of the pit.

Chief executive Aiden Lavelle added: “As a next step, we will now progress to the next stage of diligence as part of our 12-month option agreement.

“This will include further rock sampling, water sampling, and analysis of the potential for solar development at the site.”
