Planning

2018-07-18 31

  • Stream sediment sampling continues to lead the way:
  • 15%
  • f area covered
  • Local staff being trained to accelerate this work
  • Detailed exploration of prioritized targets:
  • Latorre District (Y

awi emerging as a key target), Awacha, Charip

  • Development of targets for scout drilling in Q4’18:
  • Crunchy Hill
  • Line up 3 or 4 other targets for scout-drilling
  • Continue dialogue and constructive engagement with

host communities
