LTM is an ISO Certified Lab based in Hermosillo with internationally trained and certified technical experts in metallurgical analysis. Concurrently with the bulk sample, a Precious Metal Diagnostic Leach study will be completed by LTM to assist in the understanding of gold characteristics and leach kinetics to optimize future process facilities. Five (5) - 10-kilogram samples collected from surface and drill core for the Precious Metal Diagnostic Leach study. Scope of work will include: 1) Head Grade Analysis; 2) Precious Metal Characterization (Results for each category to be provided: Free Gold; Exposed but Attached; Associated with Carbonates; Sulphide Associated; and Encapsulated in Siliceous Minerals). In addition, the Company is also pleased to announce it has completed a renewed permit for Pilar. The permit is valid for two-years, allowing for nine trench areas and 83 drill pads at Pilar. The permit will provide access for planned infill and step-out drilling along the 1.2-kilometer trend that remains largely untested at Pilar. \"This is a very exciting time for us as we get ready for the first bulk sample of surface material from Pilar\" stated Brodie Sutherland, CEO. \"This will set the stage for moving Pilar towards development, showcasing the expected head grade and recovery blended across our key oxide zones.
