The first diamond drill hole (\"DDH\") CD-001 targeting the Southern Copper Zone (\"SCZ\") has been concluded to a depth of\n \n 189.55m\n \n by Rig One. Rig Two concluded CD-002 as an initial test the Easter Copper Zone (\"ECZ\") and was completed to a depth of\n \n 95.2m\n \n . Assays from the first two holes are pending. The surface electromagnetic (\"EM\") program is completed and has defined the Cabaçal mine sequence's response that extends past the historic mine limits.
