In April, Zazu announced the release of the positive Preliminary Assessment Study by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., on an initial open pit mine on Zazu's Lik South. The study identified multiple areas where the project economics could be improved. JDS will assess these and aim to identify others.
