The container also brought with it other equipment intended for exploratory drill programmes.
Drilling will commence at Liwa Creek gold asset and its Korokayiu zinc/copper asset.
Lloyd Gale, who will be in charge of in-country drilling, has also arrived safely in country.
“We would like to thank the Fijian government for creating a special travel exemption and coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine programme to allow the company’s drill team to safely enter Fiji,” said Thunderstruck president and chief executive officer Bryce Bradley.
“This exemption shows the country’s commitment to exploration and development having successfully eradicated COVID-19 through stringent travel restrictions.
“We could not be happier to work amongst the hard-working people of
Fiji.”
Each Thunderstruck employee will be required to quarantine for 14 days in a Government supervised hotel to ensure compliance.
Once this quarantine period has been satisfied the drill team will be deployed to site and drilling will commence.
