Tellus Holdings Ltd (Tellus) over the stage one Chandler drilling campaign took the opportunity to invite a diverse group of project stakeholders to visit the Tellus’ Chandler project sites.

“This was a good opportunity to build awareness of the project and to develop good relationships,” Tellus Managing Director Duncan van der Merwe said.

“The Company wants to build good relationships with the community in which we are working and ensure people know what we are doing on site,” he said.

”Site visits ensure transparency and give the community a chance to ask questions and raise issues,” he said.

“We were very encouraged to hear that there is a lot of support for this project and the economic activity, jobs and investment it can potentially bring to Central Australia should the mine go ahead,” Mr van der Merwe said.
