The latest engineering study outlines an 8-year, approximately 6,925t/d heap leach open pit mine, producing an average of 80,000 gold oz. annually.

Results include 45.7 metres of 2.29 g/t gold and 43.9 metres of 2.41 g/t gold.

The company said new target areas are along the same lithium pegmatite trend as Ganfeng and International Lithium Corporation’s Avalonia project.

These new grounds include a historic resource of 2.9 million tonnes grading 2.66 g/t gold.

The copper-silver project in northeastern Colombia now covers over 2,500 square kilometres, with a cumulative 220-kilometre strike of prospective copper-silver mineralization.

The new work program is designed to test the material outside of the high-grade structures that formed the mineral resource estimate.

Drill core assays from the Moody Hill area returned grades as high as 27.69% MnO.

Measured and indicated tonnes now total 6 million tonnes at 9.6 g/t gold, for 1.9 million gold oz.
