- Follow up extension drilling will commence in the current September Quarter with 3,000m planned at Monument, Homerton and the nearby Pinner prospect

- Regional exploration is progressing at several historic prospects in the Cannon - Glandore area for both gold and nickel sulphides with further results expected in the current Quarter

Commenting on the exploration results, Horizon Managing Director Mr Jon Price said:

"These excellent drilling results at Monument and Homerton clearly demonstrate the potential of the area to deliver significant resource growth in close proximity to the advanced Cannon underground gold project.

"We now look forward to the results of the next round of drilling and resource modelling to complement our existing resource base in the area supporting both an open pit and underground production hub as part of our contract mining - toll milling model for cash generation."

The drilling forms part of the current FY23 exploration program focussing on new discoveries within the Greater Boorara - Cannon, Lakewood and Yarmany project areas.

The Cannon area appears to be highly prospective with several historic prospects located within a 1km radius of the open cut mine. Two of the more advanced prospects, Monument and Homerton, were recently drilled to both validate historic drilling and test for potential strike and depth extensions.
