Neal highlighted that Rio Tinto's best historical hole at the project - hole 22, drilled in 2022 - returned 109 metres at 0.75% copper but was distal to the centre of mineralization and drilled vertically into a dipping structure. Domestic Metals intends to redrill that target at the correct angle to capture the full width of the mineralised zone.
