What is your rationale for taking part in 121 Mining Investment?

Serabi is in the process of developing the Coringa Gold Project which will double annual production by 2026 for very low capex which is being financed from current cash-flow. Coupled with this, we discovered the Matilda Cu-Au-Mo porphyry with the first three drill holes into the target in 2022 which led to an exploration JV with Vale. Drilling and other exploration activity across the tenement package through 2023 and 2024 has resulted in further gold and copper targets identified.
