From last week's Roth Capital Partners coverage report LIO: Exploration Guides Mine Plan
LIO is nearing production at its Tuvatu gold mine in Fiji, which may place it among the highest-grade gold mines in the world. Tuvatu is an orogenic gold deposit with potential to extend vertically over a kilometer. LIO owns a modern assay lab and eight drill rigs, which accommodates flexible and low-cost exploration. It de-risked the project by completing a financing and balancing its construction budget. LIO anticipates updating its resource estimate in 1Q23 and commencing production in 1Q24.
