Following the completion of the 2009 drilling program, RPM (Runge Pincock Minarco Limited) world’s largest publicly listed independent group of mining technical experts was engaged by the Company to review the project and plan a substantial drilling program to define and upgrade the resource. During the drilling of this program, which was completed in 2010, RPM recommended and oversaw all site drilling and sampling procedures to ensure that the highest international standards were being followed. This project is planned to be implemented in 2023-2024.
