The estimate was based on results of 51 diamond drill holes at a total of 10,800 metres of drilling.
The mineralised area for the deposit was estimated to be 1,100 metres long from south to north and, at its widest point in the central part, about 350 metres wide.
"It is clear that we need to perform further work at Kallak North in order to define the full extent at depth of this ore body and enhance this latest resource statement," said Executivve Chairman, Clive Sinclair-Poulton.
"We therefore intend to conduct an additional 11,000-metre drill campaign on the northern and southern parts of the deposit later this year, subject to receiving the requisite work plan approvals."
