This will include mapping, sampling and a drill program.

The program will consist of drilling, gridded geochemical sampling, and reconnaissance mapping and sampling to the north and south of known prospects.
Drilling will focus on the main prospect areas: Jensen's,
Core from the 2020 drilling campaign at Jensen's has been logged and is being cut for assay submission to ALS Australia. This includes 14m of intervals showing sulphide mineralization.
Jensen's prospect was the property's discovery outcrop and will be the first drill target in 2021. Breccias at surface have returned gold grades as high as 55.2 g/t gold. The Induced Polarization (IP) survey conducted in 2018/2019 showed strong signs of a geophysical anomaly coincident with the mineralized zones seen at surface. It detected these anomalies to a depth of at least 300m and will be investigated by this season's drilling campaign.
Similarly, the
Lower Vatuvatulevu and Gun are equally exciting prospects with great potential. Rock samples from the former have returned assays of up to 41.6 g/t gold and 1,205 g/t silver, whilst breccias at Gun have shown intense sulphide mineralization associated with 0.45 g/t gold in rock samples and strong soil geochemical signatures.
The team at Liwa have completed 400 of the 1,400 geochemical samples planned for 2021. Soil samples are being taken on a hybrid 20 x 100 / 20 x 200 grid, as well as along selected, accessible ridgelines. The purpose of the soil sample campaign is to develop an understanding of geochemical signatures associated with mineralization, as well as to develop new prospects along-strike.
The program will also include reconnaissance mapping and sampling to the north and south of the known targets, with the goal of investigating potential extensions of these along-strike.
