PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea, May 29, 2024 /CNW/ - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Company") is pleased to announce that a team of East Vision International Holdings PTE Ltd. (EVIH) technical experts and executive leadership completed a site visit to the Company's Fergusson Island Gold Project comprising the Wapolu and Gameta exploration licences. As announced on May 13, 2024, Adyton and EVIH executed a US$ 9.5M Investment and Development Agreement for the Fergusson Island Gold Projects, with the funding to be used to undertake feasibility, bulk sampling and pilot scale processing and to obtain all necessary permitting and approvals to construct a minimum 2 million ton Run Of Mill mining and processing operation.

The site visit was primarily focused on enabling the EVIH technical team to ground truth the project areas and assess in more depth the significant remanent infrastructure and equipment from abandoned historic mining operations in the Wapolu exploration license area and also visit the Gameta project including a number of previous drill hole sites and proposed locations for key infrastructure.

The site visit also enabled the EVIH team to better understand logistics options to support on-going operations and development activities at the Fergusson Island Gold Project.

Also joining the team for the visit were Provincial Government Mining officers Misah Lionel – Provincial Government Principal Advisor and Clifford Clifford Pakailasi – Provincial Government advisor.

Managing Director Tim Crossley who accompanied the EVIH team said, "This was the first time on site for some of the EVIH team, hence was a good opportunity for the team to get familiar with the "lie of land", and to meet principal landowners, Ward Councilors and village elders. It was fantastic to again see the enthusiasm on the Island for the development of the project".

EVIH Director Mr Chen commented, "This was my first time on site It was an important trip for myself and the EVIH team to better understand development and logistics options as we move into feasibility and bulk sample planning. After the site visit our geologists were also able to travel to Lae to observe both the Gameta and Wapolu drill core". Mr Chen went on to say, "We are excited to be partnering with Adyton and are looking forward to progressing feasibility studies and bulk samples professionally and with the fastest pathway".
