The concession area of the Abadi Project encompasses an area of about 1,017 Hectares (ha) in Selo Lai Area, Muara Badak District, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The detailed exploration and drilling were carried out in the south-western portion of the concession area measuring approximately 300 ha.
Ravensgate, a minerals industry consultant, has been involved on a technical basis with this project since 2006. Ravensgate latest brief was to assess the JORC compliancy of the resource estimates done over the concession by Indonesian consultants, CV Mahameru Jaya. Ravensgate then undertook a parallel resource modelling and estimation program. The data used and the application of this data is outlined below as well as the ultimate results of this study.
