Austrian Gold and Cobalt Projects
On 26 July 2019, the Company announced it had completed a strategic review into the Austrian projects and concluded:
1. The projects remain prospective for gold and cobalt mineralisation with the Leogang Cobalt project and Kreuzeck Gold projects considered key to the suite of projects whilst Schellgaden has been downgraded as a result of poor drilling results; and
