Taken from the recent MD&A:
Subject to availability of funding, the Company has the option to resume additional exploration drill programmes with two principal objectives:
A Mineral Resource expansion drilling programme of approximately 30,000 metres and focusing on the Mestiza, America and La India vein sets and Cacao. The target of this drilling is to expand and upgrade the Mineral Resource on these four vein sets. The cost of this programme, including incremental Company operating costs would amount to approximately
US$7 million. The Company completed 15 diamond core drill holes for 3,504m of resource expansion drilling at Cacao during 2021.
An in-fill drilling programme of approximately 20,000 meters to be conducted on two to three potential feeder pits (e.g. America, Cacao and Central Breccia) with the intention of adding feeder pits into a mine plan early on in the mine life. The cost of this programme, including incremental Company operating costs would amount to approximately US$5 million.
