Kuniko Limited已完成初始A$150万的支出承诺，获得Commonwealth-Silica Hill金银铜矿项目51%的控制权，进度较原计划提前超过12个月[1]。该公司同时获得了项目的运营控制权[1]。
Kuniko管理董事Maja McGuire表示，"获得多数股权是对项目及其巨大增长潜力的信心明确体现"[1]。首阶段钻探工作取得优异成果，命中率达到100%[1]。其中最突出的钻孔样本间隔0.5米内品位达347克/吨金当量，含银20,603克/吨及金27克/吨[1]。基于钻探结果，公司已确定了约5公里长的成矿廊道[1]。该公司相信该项目拥有比之前认识更大规模的矿业系统[1]。
根据历史JORC（2012）推断矿产资源估算，该项目包含约88,800盎司黄金和330万盎司白银[1]。Kuniko计划通过在后续两年内再投入A$150万来增加权益至70%[1]。第二阶段钻探已启动进行，矿物资源估算预计于2026年底前完成[1]。
Kuniko Limited has completed its initial A$1.5 million expenditure commitment and gained 51% control of the Commonwealth-Silica Hill gold-silver-copper project, achieving this milestone more than 12 months ahead of schedule [1]. The company has now obtained operational control of the project and believes it may host a larger mineralised system than previously understood [1].
The first phase of drilling achieved a 100% success rate, with the most significant intercept returning 347 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 0.5-metre intervals, including 20,603 grams per tonne silver and 27 grams per tonne gold [1]. These results have helped define approximately 5 kilometres of a mineralised corridor [1]. Management Director Maja McGuire stated that securing majority ownership represents "clear confidence in the project and its enormous growth potential" [1].
Kuniko plans to invest an additional A$1.5 million over the following two years to expand its stake to 70% [1]. The second phase of drilling is already underway, with a mineral resource estimate anticipated by the end of 2026 [1]. Historical JORC (2012) inferred mineral resources for the project encompassed approximately 88,800 ounces of gold and 3.3 million ounces of silver [1].
