I actually think Brad would have done things differently had he been given a choice but the majors have a different way of working and are leading the project so it's good in the sense it's their money paying for everything Anza related bit the downside is your moving at their timetable which doesn't really align with orosur shareholders thirst for the project to move quicker. Below is an idea of what to expect over the next few months taken from Orosur's recent attendance at 121 mining Cape Town.
What recent news would you like to highlight to investors attending?
Drilling is about to restart on new prospects at the Anza project in Colombia. We also have exploration results and programs in Argentina as the El Pantano projects comes into full operation.
What are your key goals for the next 3, 6 and 12 months?
3 Months:
Commence next phase of drilling at Anza in Colombia. Complete next phase of work at El Pantano. Ink new JV in Argentina. Commence work on our Ariquemes tin project in Brazil.
6 Months:
Finalise JV terms for transition into Phase 2 of the Anza JV with Agnico and Newmont. Moving into Phase 2 means $20m spend over 4 years. Commence field work at the Ariquemes project in Brazil. Commence drilling in Argentina
12 Months:
Ramp up drilling at Anza in Colombia. Continue drilling in Argentina at two projects. Potential drilling in Brazil
So my thoughts are we are still early in the game with respect to Colombia judging by this timetable, it is quiet just now but any ramp up of works or drill programmes here will give significant lift, as well as licence approvals/ permits bring gained for outstanding areas. Expect a new Argentina JV shortly as well as samples from 5 holes. Possible drill plan for pepas, with what they will be doing at Apta. We already know deep rigs have been brought to go deeper at apta & pepas, which will be made public as the drills are turning. I expect this come at same time as the 5 hole results but maybe not. This new Argentinian JV in my opinion will be further along and closer to being drill ready than el Pantano. Unsure of the commodity this will be ? Gold but Brad has shown he is not scared to diversify his metals with the Brazil JV so anything is up for debate on this. Brad seems to like Argentina due to cost of works being significantly lower than Colombia also.
