Eastern Desert Exploration (EDX)

The EDX Blocks, comprise 2,222km² of greenfield exploration tenements within the Egyptian section (Eastern Desert) of the Arabian Nubian Shield.

The area has not been explored using current exploration methods in the modern era, but represents a significant land package of highly prospective but underexplored geological terrane. The land package is divided into two blocks:

Nugrus block (848km²): surrounds the Sukari Mining Concession, targeting potential satellite deposits and low capex mill feed to the Sukari processing plant
Najd block (1,374km²): 100km northwest of Sukari in the Central Eastern Desert, a potential standalone operation
