What happened
Augustus Minerals is strategically pursuing the Mt Kare gold-silver project in Papua New Guinea. The company’s subsidiary, ACM PNG, holds a second-in-time exploration license application over Mt Kare, which is situated 15 kilometres from Barrick Gold’s Porgera gold mine. Mt Kare is classified as a rare alkalic-epithermal gold deposit and has previously shown high-grade drill hits.
