Tango acquired a 75% unencumbered interest in the Middlepits project late 2017, assuming responsibility for all further exploration and development on the property.
The company will work on an exploration and development program for the site in order to advance the diamondiferous gravels at the site.
This is expected to commence in Q1 2018.
