"Exceptional drill results.... bigger than Buritica!"9 Dec 2024 08:27
"Exceptional drill results like this don't come along often - so please excuse if we enjoy the moment. But tomorrow it's back to work. Clearly this result shows there is something at Pepas, the question is what and how big? Hole PEP016, starting today, is the first of the "how big" holes. We have now in effect moved into the definition phase."
"The efficiency of this drilling is quite startling. Unlike past efforts at APTA, where deep holes and slow labs meant things dragged on for months. This is all moving fast - almost too fast to allow us time to think. The poor lads with shovels building the drill pads are struggling to keep ahead.
It's worth noting that the monster up the road, Buritica, needed 300,000m of drilling before they could do a decent feasibility. Its an amazing deposit and so worth effort, but hopefully we can do a bit better than that."
