  • A total of 1,717m of samples were cut and sent to the ALS Laboratory in Chile for analysis.
  • A best result of 31m at 0.57% CuEq from 0m depth was intersected in drillhole DDLLA016A which is in the core of the Central Porphyry.
  • The diamond core drilling program continues at Colina2 with 4 holes completed to date.
  • The overall dip and strike are better understood with the drill orientation changed to reflect this understanding.
