It has always been my concern that resource extraction will impact a large area, with a lot of this being farmland. Here's hoping the following program can show things can proceed effectively (and assuming the TREO numbers build a case)

As part of AR3’s development of the Koppamurra Project, a Trial Pit is in planning in an area of prospective mineralisation on private land adjacent the existing Red Tail resource area. The trial is expected to provide several beneficial outcomes in advancing the Project. It will, 

– allow for significant bulk sample collection for larger scale metallurgical testwork;  

– provide access to the mineralised zone over a wide area to progress understanding of the geological system at micro and macro scale; and 

–  allow AR3 to demonstrate the shallow nature of the deposit and the potential for rapid rehabilitation of disturbed areas to stakeholders and the broader community.

Drilling on the proposed Pit area, roughly 200m long by 40m wide, using the push tube core method, on a nominally 10m x 10m grid, provided detailed geological input to the planning of the Trial Pit.  

Assays show quite a wide range of TREO as would be expected. Looking at a 2m tick mineralised zone.
