Adyton Resources Corporation (TSX-V: ADY) (OTCQB: ADYRF) (FSE: 701) is pleased to announce that the Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) has approved Adyton’s application to vary Exploration Licence EL 2549, enabling bulk sample extraction and processing at the Wapolu Gold Project as part of preparations for the recommencement of mining operations.

The approved variation permits the extraction and on-site processing of a bulk sample of approximately 20,000 tonnes for the purposes of process flow sheet optimisation, metallurgical testing, and the production of bulk concentrate samples for customer evaluation and product qualification.

“The approval of our Exploration Licence variation to enable bulk sampling is an important step forward in our strategy to restart mining operations at Wapolu,” said Tim Crossley, Chief Executive Officer of Adyton. “The ability to mobilise ahead of Mining Lease approval enables us to accelerate key development activities including, metallurgical testing, process optimisation and the production of concentrate samples for customer qualification and pricing. This approval keeps us firmly on track as we work to unlock the value of this high-quality gold project and progress Wapolu towards production. We appreciate the MRA’s timely and practical support as we advance the responsible redevelopment of this historic mine.”

Louis Wang, Project Director of EVIH, commented:

“We are very pleased with the pragmatic approach adopted by the MRA throughout this variation process. Their willingness to work constructively with project proponents and support practical solutions that facilitate responsible project development is highly encouraging. The approval of this variation, together with the recent completion of the Mine Warden’s Hearing, represents meaningful progress toward bringing the historic Wapolu Mine back into production.”

Exploration Licence (EL) 2549, which hosts the Wapolu Gold Project, is currently the subject of an Environment Permit application, Mining Lease Application (ML) 1390, and Lease for Mining Purposes (LMP) 152. Together, these statutory approvals are intended to support the recommencement of mining operations at the historic Wapolu Mine. The ML application covers the proposed mining and processing activities, while the LMP application relates to supporting infrastructure, including facilities such as airstrips and associated project infrastructure.

Importantly, the Mine Warden’s Hearing for ML 1390 was recently completed, representing a significant milestone in the permitting process and demonstrating continued progress toward securing the approvals required to restart mining operations. The approved variation to EL 2549 will enable Adyton to undertake advanced development and testing activities on the ground while the Environment Permit, Mining Lease and LMP applications continue through the approval process.

The Wapolu Project, together with the neighbouring Gameta licence area, represents two of the most advanced development assets on Fergusson Island. Both projects are being actively advanced through the permitting and development process by Adyton and EVIH.
