FURTHER INFORMATION AND PROJECT UPDATE: AL HADEETHA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT IN OMAN
Alara Resources Limited (ASX: AUQ) (Alara or Company) refers to its ASX Announcement of 1 July 2016 "Oman Project Update: Infill Drilling Program at Washihi Complete", specifically Table 1 below.
Since July 2013, Table 1 has appeared in many Alara ASX Announcements. Alara's ASX Announcement of 14 June 2016, noted that this table had been updated (from JORC Code 2004) to comply with JORC Code 2012, on the basis that the information had not materially changed since it was last reported.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in Table 1 and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
However, in light of the additional high grade mineralisation identified during the recent drilling program at Washihi, reworking of the resource model will now be undertaken to determine the extent to which (if at all) the additional mineralisation, that was previously unknown, changes the resource model.
This reworking of the resource model cannot be completed until all drill-hole results have been received. The third and final batch of samples from the infill drilling program was dispatched to the laboratory on Monday. The laboratory has confirmed receiving the second batch of samples on 30 June 2016. Further results will be released as soon as possible.
