Dear Pilar Gold Shareholders and Interested Parties
We are pleased to let you know that drilling has commenced at Maria Lázara South East (MLSE) to test how big this deposit can grow. Our plan is to drill the structure between the current mine (MLZ) and drill hole MLSE013 some 2 kilometres to the south which intersected 3.68m @ 8.97g/t at a depth of 251.24m during a 2017 drill programme.
We have secured 2 excellent rigs to undertake 5,075 metres of surface drilling. This is in addition to the 7,200 metres that is ongoing underground at MLZ for grade control. Our MLZ mine is higher grade than the Pilar mine and currently enjoying mill grades of around 1.8 g/t compared to Pilar which is between 1.2-1.6 g/t Au. See our Chief Geo Paulo Aguirres internal management presentation on the MLSE programme.
