The Exploration Team

Aeris Resources are investing $10M in exploration to unlock further value at the Tritton Copper Operation following the recent discovery of the Constellation deposit.

The funds will enable the exploration team to embark on a substantial exploration program to find the next deposit to add to the 750,000t of copper discovered to date.  With a large tenement holding and a significant proportion under-explored there is a real opportunity to find more deposits and Aeris are backing the exploration team to do so. 

So why not join a well-funded agile team exploring for copper in a mineral rich and highly prospective terrain?
