Larvotto Resources Limited announced that work programs are locked in for the Mt Isa copper, gold and cobalt project with field work to begin in late January. The Mt Isa project is directly along strike from Glencore's Mt Isa Mines operation and surrounds Round Oak Minerals Pty Ltd.'s (Washington H Soul Patterson 100%) Barbara copper operation in the prospective Mt Isa region of Queensland, Australia. The Mt Isa Project (Project) covers some 900km2 of ground, highly prospective for copper, gold and cobalt based on targets generated from previous explorers and initial field reconnaissance conducted by Larvotto.

Many historically identified anomalies have not been drilled, with a few having only limited drilling and none have been fully tested by drilling. Prospects range from soil and geophysical anomalies, many of which are coincident, to areas where shallow and wide spaced drilling has only tested the area sufficiently to confirm the presence of sulphide mineralisation, not determine the extent. Interestingly, previous explorers have focused on sulphide mineralisation with little work undertaken on oxide type mineralisation.

Larvotto intends to ensure both styles of mineralisation are evaluated.
