RE: When was announcement made regarding approvals to drill in new areas23 Feb 2020 17:36
According to the Feb 2020 MD&A drilling has only been curtailed at Alpala (rather than Cascabel) since September 2019,. Presumably they could still be drilling elsewhere within the Cascabel concession? I think it states later on that they have commenced drill testing at Trivino.
Also from the Feb 2020 MD&A they state that scout drilling has commenced at the Celito Vein prospect in Bianca; regulatory approval has been received for scout drilling at target 6 in Bianca; regulatory approval has been received for scout drilling at target 15 in Porvenior #2; and they have drilling programs planned, but awaiting approval, at Pasquel in Rio Amirillo, and Quillosisa and Santa Martha in Santa Martha.
Presumably things will have moved on a little since that report as well. Basically we shouldn't expect an RNS for news of drill approvals, commencement of drilling, etc anymore. Which, in my opinion. seems in keeping with a exploration company with a MCAP of almost half a billion quid!
