Dear Shareholders and Interested Parties,
I am really excited to announce the restart of our drilling campaign today at Sertão after a well earned Christmas break for Helio and his team. Sertão was the highest grading gold mine in the world between 2003-6 and we believe it will achieve those same bragging rights again in 2023.
Our Chief Geo Paulo Aguirre has really got his eye in now and nailed 6 of his last 8 holes from the first season. Carlos and Arthur have been great and I’m excited to have them back working alongside Paulo. The table shows his best results and illustrates how many vertical metres these intersections are below the bottom of the current Stage 5 (Crew's reef) pit. This is the same pit that will host the new underground mine portal leading straight into the lush high-grade material that we'll truck to our 4,500tpd Pilar mill. For example SRSD0013 which was Paulo's best hole of half a metre @ 218 g/t Au is only 13 vertical metres below the current workings.
