RE:New Press Release - ENTRÉE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS Shocking admission from ETG about our JV partner's behaviour.
"Drilling programs to support a Lift 2 Order of Magnitude Study are in progress. An updated resource model for Hugo North (including Hugo North Extension) is expected to be completed by mid-2024 and will include Lift 2. The updated resource model will incorporate the results from ongoing Hugo North Extension surface and underground drilling on the Entre/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property. The Company continues to request full results of the 2022 Hugo North Extension diamond drill program from OTLLC."
"The Entre/Oyu Tolgoi joint venture ("Entre/Oyu Tolgoi JV") Management Committee approved a 2023 in-fill drill program for Hugo North Extension comprising both underground (12 holes totalling 3,889 metres) and surface (six holes totalling 9,082 metres) diamond drilling. The underground holes are collared from underground drill stations on the Oyu Tolgoi mining licence crossing onto the Entre/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property. The approved budget for the program is ~$4.5 million, 20% of which will be contributed by OTLLC on Entre's behalf as a loan in accordance with the joint venture agreement (the "Entre/Oyu Tolgoi JVA"). The principal purpose for the 2023 drilling is to support the Lift 2 Order of Magnitude Study and updated resource model."
Anybody who recalls the TRQ convenient untruth "HNE is truncated by a boundary fault just North of the existing defined reserves" ... that little bit of sleaze against ETG is now finished.
Greg Crowe called the drill intersection at 1300mN likely "the top of the same mineralized system" back in ... 2006!!!
Jig is up OTLLC. Yes, there may be some displacement but it sure sounds like they relocated the continuation of HNE ... this is big money high grade ore for Lift 2.
Disgraceful way to treat a junior JV partner ... dare I say unlawful? The arbitration looms. We have the goods, the valuation will rise. Oh such sweet justicebif it coincides with a years-long spike in copper and gold prices and Rio ends up having hashed an opportunity at an absolute steal with a fair offer they never made to ETG over all the intervening years.
FMCDH ... from my cold dead hands ... for new readers.
Hang on, hold tight we got the goods and the market has no clue about our value.
