“The Onto deposit discovery demonstrates the value and opportunity associated with the Hu’u Project,” STM president Bede Evans said in the media release.
“With the project now in the feasibility study in exploration stage, we look forward to advancing the project with the aim of developing a world-class mining operation.”
