The Shire Project is comprised of six exploration licenses: Meli, Terer, Nefasit, Adi Dairo, Adi Mendi and Wokemba, covering approximately 1,450 square kilometers in northern Ethiopia. The licenses are within the same geological environment as both the Bisha Mine and the Asmara Projects to the north in Eritrea and Newmont's project, also in northern Ethiopia, to the south.
Previous work by the Sun Peak team identified numerous (~24) gold and copper targets. Initial 2020 drilling revealed strong Au & Cu intercepts on both the Meli and Terer licenses.
