The Company and its consultants are currently completing the Study to determine the economics of the Project at the pre-feasibility level under Ecuador's medium-scale mining category. The PFS will consider underground production at a rate of 1,000 tonnes per day using sequential flotation, producing two separate concentrates, a lower grade gold-silver concentrate and a higher grade gold-copper-silver-arsenic concentrate.

The Company expects to receive the preliminary draft PFS in the next few weeks from its consultants and will then undertake a detailed analysis. The results will be released once management and the board of directors have completed their review.
