This new drilling at El Cobre further highlights the potential of this project to host a porphyry deposit. The project has unparalleled infrastructure that is permissive for a deposit to be developed. At this time we have only tested one of four known targets. Much more work is required to fully understand and explore this exciting copper-gold project. While market conditions require us to focus on our Tuligtic project in the near-term, we are looking forward to advancing El Cobre with the aggressive drill program required to explore this tremendous target.
