Maintaining progress through a major downturn
Investigator Resources is offering multiple breakthrough opportunities
for further silver lead copper gold discoveries in an emerging mineral province
Our focus is building on the Paris silver resource with the surrounding potential
Requires judicious and warranted application of available funds
Leveraging extensive & valuable drill samples, datasets, IP & infrastructure
1. Drilling of highest priority targets is planned for mid-year
(Government funding grant for collaborative drilling)
Geological Survey
of SA geoscientists
examining Paris core
• Three prime targets near Paris for silver add-ons,
skarn copper & a porphyry/breccia central to the mineral system
2. Integrating multiple datasets & remapping
to develop new drill targets in the Paris minerals system
• Includes potential for Imiter-style high-grade silver deposits
that may have subtle soil & ironstone signatures
3. Offering these assets & the central Paris Hilton camp as a
collaborative research platform to expand our targeting capability
