Commenting on the Tolmer drilling program, Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:
"We look forward to sharing the assay results for this latest round of Tolmer drilling. The western 'silver zone' is an exciting target, and we are already planning near-term follow up diamond and RC drilling programs. My thanks to the excellent Barton team, and our drilling partners, for the safe execution of this extended program."
Program background
Barton identified Tolmer as a high-grade gold discovery in August 2024, and subsequently identified a new 'silver zone' ~500m west in a line of seven discovery holes with globally significant assays including:[2]
On 22 May Barton commenced a planned program of ~2,500m RC drilling which was designed to infill and extend both the western 'silver zone' and the eastern 'gold zone'.[3] Based upon further geological surface reconnaissance and early observations from drilling, it was decided to expand the 'silver zone' drilling program to gather a larger amount of data on this area with the remaining time available in this program.[4]
Seven drill holes originally planned for the eastern 'gold zone' were re-allocated to eight new drill holes in the western 'silver zone', expanding the planned drilling from three to five lines of RC holes. The total Tolmer drilling program was expanded from a planned ~2,500m to a revised final total of 2,882m.
Samples will shortly be despatched for expedited laboratory analysis, with the first multi-element assay results expected to be received toward the end of July. Barton has already commenced planning for follow up programs, including diamond drilling for structural orientation and further extensional RC drilling.

The Company continues to believe that its ADSs are undervalued relative to its operational performance and strategic potential. With the buyback program, VEON aims to optimize shareholder value and strengthen its financial position for future opportunities. The buybacks will be conducted on the open market pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan signed with a registered broker-dealer, and in compliance with Rule 10b-18. VEON is also considering options to raise external financing through a sub-benchmark private placement of bonds, with a tenor of up to approximately four years (the 'Notes'), with the goal of supporting the Company's strategic initiatives and enhancing its financial flexibility. The Notes, if issued, will be issued by VEON Midco B.V. and guaranteed by VEON Amsterdam B.V.
