"We have very little operating costs. We have very little maintenance costs. And we're debt-free," says President and CEO, Steve Cochrane.
Acquisition and exploration began in April 2016. Geochemical and geophysics programs are complete and drill targeting is complete. Moreover, community approval (mandatory in Chile) has already been obtained or is at an advanced stage for the top projects and a multi-project drill program is upcoming.
