Some of the upcoming work at Banyan’s AurMac Property include 60,000 metres of drilling, metallurgical test work, data collection for a resource update, and starting a preliminary economic assessment study for next year. It has already started drilling for this year with roughly 90 holes over 20,000 metres completed.

According to Banyan, it may end up paying a finder’s fee in cash, subject to all regulatory approvals. It is aiming to close the private placement within the next month.
