The acquisition of these highly promising tenements in the mining-friendly Northern Territory strengthens iTech's exposure to copper and gold amid rising demand and prices for these metals.
Although iTech remains focused on advancing the Lacroma Graphite Project, the exploration team is taking advantage of the downtime — while independent geologists work on the maiden resource update — to build on the excellent exploration conducted by Prodigy Gold and identify new compelling drill targets within the Reynolds Range Project.— Managing Director Mike Schwarz

NEXT STEPS
It should be noted that in addition to copper and gold the project area has the critical elements for Nolan’s Bore style REE mineralisation which is approximately 40km to the southeast. Numerous pegmatites with known tin and tantalum mineralisation are also present in the area and have good potential for associated lithium mineralisation.
The upcoming field trip to sample high priority targets is planned to be undertaken in late May/early June.
