“Rob McEwen’s expertise in the mining and investment industry is world-class and we are grateful to have him as one of Enduro’s largest shareholders.

“Equipment is in place for the 2020 exploration season and the company will be mobilising to the Newmont Lake Project immediately upon closing of the offering and will be providing batches of technical updates as more information becomes available,” he added.
