· Assays from first drill three diamond drill holes at Pepas prospect, in the north of the Anzá Project - PEP001, PEP002 and PEP003
· Assay results from PEP001 have returned a substantial, high-grade gold intersection of 150.90m @ 3.00g/t Au (from surface).
· Additional holes are currently underway across Pepas and Pupino prospects.
· The Company's JV partner, Minera Monte Águila has informed the Company that it has met its expenditure commitment of US$4million for the current JV year.
