Gold mineralisation at Pepas and other spots at Anza are hosted in Tuff. As a piece of useless information, this is where Tuff comes from. This ash settles while still hot and welds into a porous rock that is a nice host for fluids at some later date.

Mapping an old artisinal tunnel at El Cedro. Not sure what health and safety rules we are bending here - possibly all of them. Not a massive working but demonstration of epithermal systems associated with the source porphyry. This sort of complexity is what we like to see.

Finally getting our feet on the ground at El Cedro. First task is to examine some old abandoned artisinal tunnels we had not previously known about. No longer active, but we wonder what they were up to back in the day?

Meanwhile, 6000km south, IP is beginning in more gentle terrain.

While waiting for El Cedro access to be finalised for our mapping program, teams are doing more detailed work south of Pepas where local landowners have indicated the presence of massive quartz blocks. The more we look, the more we find.

Not wishing to overstate the obvious - but location location location

When a commodity price goes nuts, as happens from time to time, one entirely predicable response is a scramble for exploration ground in prospective regions. There are after all well over 2000 junior explorers looking for a positive story to tell. This current gold boom is no different.

Behind the scenes, there is a manic rush for anything prospective in a safe and stable jurisdiction.

In southern Argentina, in the Deaseado Massif, it is the jurassic volcanics that host the really big gold deposits such as Cerro Negro, Cerro Vanguardia etc. As much by luck as design, we seem to have found ourselves the owner of quite a large chunk of this terrane.

Some thought we were mad at the time, but as we have explained over and over, its all about options.

A busy geophysical week.

Drone mag should finish at Pepas today - should see data next week and hopefully can begin to better understand the arrangement of things.

Meanwhile, IP crew arrived at El Pantano today - couple of days to set up and should be into it by the weekend.

https://x.com/OrosurM/status/1902262061155110925?t=F955dixUfGHY8qe4592mXQ&s=19

Certainly beats walking.

https://x.com/OrosurM/status/1899749076687827103?t=jvKNuHr91fZMAZ1UJDJpKg&s=19

Terrain photogrammetry part of the drone survey done, now the mag starts with a different machine. Low level drone dragging a missile shaped object over the hills - what could possibly go wrong??

Drone mag survey about to commence at Pepas.

Apparently need to do a high level stereoscopic camera survey first to create a DTM. Then use that DTM to program the drone. 10 days perhaps and all going well, we have another tool to help us understand the structural architecture here.

Certainly a lot easier than slogging up and down hills in tropical heat.

The Orosur team at PDAC. Corp Counsel Joaquin Sarroca, Chairman Louis and Toronto based non-exec Thomas Masney.

Expect it to be busy.

In the meantime, the workers keep working.

Pepas - drilling rolls on, mag about to start, mapping and sampling continues, prelim metallurgical studies about to commence, access to north Pepas being developed.

El Cedro - large mapping and sampling program planned, logistics being finalised

El Pantano - IP to start in a few weeks when contract crew is available.

No rest for the wicked or the weary.

Some core pics from previous drilling in advance of PDAC next week. PEP013 was our best hole to date, announced on 9th Dec 2024 as 77.3m @ 7.68g/t Au from surface. It's an industry outlier so we treat it with caution.

Host rock is or was tuff, a rock derived from falling volcanic ash. It's porous, and so when hit with gold bearing fluids from below, rather than seeing discrete veins, the entire rock is flooded with silica and gold, creating this hard blueish rock with vein upon vein upon vein over large widths.

Near surface it has been heavily oxidised, but the gold was not leached away and we see high grade at surface, in this case over 7g/t.

We are still developing concepts about what Pepas is, why it is there, and what is happening to the north, but also examining the economics of what this nature of mineralisation implies. Thick, high grade ore at surface is rare. Global average open pit grade is now close to 1g/t Au, and so +5g/t Au is a bit unusual and may need some rejigging of cost models.

Still very early days and we have much to learn, but certainly something interesting is going on here.

Picture of Pepas continues to evolve with these two converging faults - henceforth known as Tesorito N and S. Couple of holes just been drilled in opposite direction to better define Tesorito S. Shape of these two faults looks like a nice open pit.

Gentle prod to those not emotionally scarred or versed in the mystic and protracted arts of mineral exploration. Taking out the Christmas holidays, we have been back in the driving seat for a grand total of 5 weeks. We have drilled 7 holes for about 600m, all of which have shown exceptional results.

600m was one hole back in the MMA days.

The feasibility study for the giant Buritica deposit just up the road was based on over 700 holes for almost 300,000m. Pepas is a very different beast and that is not remotely a fair comparison, other than demonstrating that defining a resource is not just about chasing numbers - understanding the geology is the most important issue.

pepas was originally identified by bleg sampling, then almost immediately followed by discovery of outcrop and then drilling. some soils were done, but sp**** and were not really used due to the delay in assays back in 2022 and the focus on drilling, with four rigs across multiple prospects that needed tending at that time.

we are taking our time and focussing. been a bit manic since we restarted, but now having time to sit, scratch and think about what is happening in say a 1km radius. funny how the more you look the more you see.

Bit of activity a few km south of our El Pantano gold project in Argentina. Not directly relevant, but nice to see the majors opening opening their cheque books.

Developing plans for our work program at El Pantano now.

Happy New Year to all.

Drillers at Anza were back at work just after Christmas, but laboratories are a bit more complex and take a little longer to wind back up to speed once shut down. All up and running now, so we are back in action.

For change of pace, results yesterday from Unico Silver immediately abutting our El Pantano project in Argentina. Looking forward to getting back there after Christmas to poke around.
