Adyton appoints Johns to focus on Feni

Mr. Tim Crossley reports

ADYTON RESOURCES WELCOMES LIHIR DEPOSIT EXPERT DR. ERIN JOHNS TO THE TEAM TO DRIVE FENI GOLD-COPPER PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Adyton Resources Corp. has appointed Dr. Erin Johns to its technical team, focusing on the company's flagship Feni gold-copper project in Papua New Guinea.

Highlights:

  • World-class Lihir gold deposit expertise: Dr. Johns completed her PhD research specifically on the Lihir gold deposit, a neighbouring, world-class alkalic-type epithermal gold deposit owned and operated by Newmont, which is crucial for understanding the geological controls at the Feni gold-copper deposit.
  • Targeted derisking: Dr. Johns's specialized knowledge will provide critical insights for Adyton to accurately vector toward high-grade gold-copper zones and expand the resource at Feni, effectively derisking the exploration model.
  • Strategic academic ties: Dr. Johns maintains close connections with the Centre for Ore Deposits and Earth Sciences at the University of Tasmania, a globally recognized leader in economic geology and volcanology.
  • Enhanced exploration capability: Dr. Johns's Lihir expertise directly aligns with the discovery process under way at Adyton's 100-per-cent-owned Feni project, an existing 1.46-million-ounce alkalic-type gold-copper resource, and significantly strengthens the technical team as the company advances its exploration and resource growth strategy.

Tim Crossley, chief executive officer, commented:

"We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Erin Johns to the Adyton team. Her specialized academic background on the anatomy of the world-class Lihir gold system, combined with her boots-on-the-ground experience, provides an immediate and substantial competitive advantage for accelerating the discovery process and unlocking the full potential of Adyton's whole-of-island land position."

Dr. Johns commented: "I am thrilled to join the Adyton team and contribute my experience from Lihir to the next phase of work at Feni. Having spent years studying the geological controls of the Lihir system, I see clear parallels in the volcanic architecture, structural framework, mineralization types and alteration patterns at Feni. Those similarities suggest we are only beginning to understand the scale and potential of this system. I'm looking forward to helping advance the Feni project, which I believe has all the ingredients to become another significant gold resource in the region."

About Dr. Erin Johns

Dr. Johns is an accomplished economic geologist with a focus on alkalic-type gold-copper systems in the Pacific Rim region. Her PhD dissertation (2020) was entitled "Geology of the Kapit NE and Coastal Ore Zones, Lihir Gold Deposit, Papua New Guinea," from the University of Tasmania (CODES).

Her expertise is directly relevant to Adyton's strategy:

  • The Feni and Lihir deposits are both classic examples of alkalic-type epithermal gold deposits, which represent a highly valuable, yet geologically complex, class of mineral systems globally.
  • Dr. Johns's PhD thesis at the University of Tasmania's renowned CODES department focused on the geological controls that concentrated gold mineralization at Lihir. Understanding the relationship between these controls and the deep-seated intrusive complex is paramount.
  • The full-time appointment ensures that Adyton is applying a Lihir-style geological lens and learnings to the Feni project. This provides the technical team with the ability to swiftly interpret new data, recognize subtle alteration signatures and refine targeting, dramatically increasing the probability of a major discovery.

About the Feni gold-copper project

The Feni project is a key asset in Adyton's portfolio, located in a highly prospective region of Papua New Guinea known for world-class alkalic-type gold-copper deposits, including Lihir. The company has a whole-of-island land position and has confirmed significant gold-copper mineralization at Feni. The company is focused on expanding its existing Kabang/Matangkaka resource and identifying new high-grade targets regionally.

About Adyton Resources Corp.

Adyton is a gold and copper exploration and development company focused on world-class mineral jurisdictions. The company holds a portfolio of highly prospective gold and copper projects in Papua New Guinea, including the 100-per-cent-owned Feni gold-copper project and the Fergusson Island gold projects under a joint venture agreement with EVIH. Adyton is committed to operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
