As quoted in the press release:

J. Duane Poliquin, chairman of Almaden commented: “This new mineral resource estimate showcases the continuity of theIxtaca Zone gold and silver mineralisation and the success of our 2013 infill drilling program. It will form the basis of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) we expect to report in the first half of this year. While engineering studies will be the emphasis of this year’s work program, we plan to focus our 2014 Tuligtic Project drill program on the testing of other high priority exploration targets on the property.”
