Tempest recently announced an extension to the project and drilling programme historic high-grade Messengers Patch.
The new extension is a mining lease comprising 72 hectares along strike from the previously announced drilling and new exploration leases. Tempest has entered into an agreement with the holder of the M5900495 to earn in up to 50% of the tenement through expenditure of A$50,000 including drilling over the next 12 months.
The new extension covers the well-known historic high grade Messengers Patch gold production area.
The Messenger Project (including the new tenement) is a well-known historic mining area which had numerous high-grade mines (up to 10 ounces gold per ton) and a state battery (government built gold processing facility) in the early 1900s.
