• Detailed study and property-scale structural mapping of mineralized veins and host rocks
• Drilling campaign targeting the areas with the highest cobalt resource potential
• Surface sampling at known prospects and occurrences throughout the property for assay analyses will be made
• Detailed magnetic study of the total property surface
• 5,000 metres of drilling will target the north-west zone testing targets from the 3D geological model
• 4,000 metres of exploration drilling to identify new mineralized fault systems

The important discovery was made during the area survey and research conducted by our mining engineers and they are also tasked to realize the full extent of cobalt extraction on the property.”
Mr. Torres continued: “Like other cobalt projects developed during the last decade, we are convinced that modern geoscience and mining methods have the potential to unlock value across this zone.
