July 2024 Community Cultural Ceremonies with ANM

In July 2024, Ian Sinclair, Ross Brown and Joe Magno attended 3 community cultural welcome ceremonies with ANM and Murak Rai TL in the principal villages of our minerals licenses. Each event was fascinating and an encouraging step as we look forward to engaging with each community as we move forward into minerals exploration and evaluation.
