Commenting today, Executive Chairman Patrick Cheetham said:

"Tolsa's trenching programme at Pioche has clearly identified potential for substantial extensions to the sepiolite deposits which is great news for the project. Our agreement with Tolsa provides that any mining claims staked by either party within a 2-mile radius of our original claim boundary are subject to the agreement and the payment of royalties. We are pleased to see Tolsa's further commitment to this rapidly evolving project following their recent option payment to Sunrise."
