Zacatecas Update

The fully-financed Exploration program on our Zacatecas assets continues. Drilling commenced in early December and is well underway with a number of key target areas being tested. The company has submitted over 50% of the completed holes to analytical lab facilities, and expects to submit the remainder of the completed holes in the coming weeks.

Drilling has largely been focused on a 1300 metre x 300 metre corridor (News Release: May 29th, 2020) targeting expansion of the existing resource estimate within historically poorly recognized gaps in the historical mine both on strike and at depth as well testing prospective structures near to the Veta Grande structure.
