Mountain of gold in historic mining district. Ranked in
Top‐20 of undeveloped global gold deposits by size.
Deep zone drilling shows that mineralization at Marmato
extends at least 800m below the limit of the current
underground mining operation and is still open at depth.
The 2018 drilling campaign has increased our confidence
in the geological model, outlining a higher‐grade zone
with excellent continuity over 450 meters along strike
and strong vertical continuity for more than 300 meters
below the deepest level of our existing mining operation.
Currently evaluating the potential to expand
underground mining operations. Completing additional
drilling and technical studies toward expected
completion of a PEA by the end of 2019.
