INSIGHT

La Virginia Flagship Drill Ramp-Up

La Virginia is the flagship with 25,000–30,000m planned and 7 holes completed at a new target, El Molino.
Steve Cope says visual breccia structures were encountered and assays are expected mid-to-late November.

INSIGHT

El Rubi: Main Event And Deep Potential

El Rubi hosts the existing ~700,000 gold-equivalent ounce resource and remains the primary target for near-term ounce growth.
A deep geophysical anomaly below El Rubi suggests potential for a much larger, higher-grade system at depth.

ADVICE

Aim For A Q2 2026 Resource Update

Target a resource update around Q2 2026 while expanding drilling to add ounces and test depth.
Increase rigs to run simultaneous near-surface expansion and deeper testing to accelerate resource growth and attract majors.
