The Calcatreu permitting process is advancing well and is now entering the final stages of approval. Following positive recommendations from the Mining and Environmental authorities and overwhelming support from the closest neighboring native community, the next step in the approval process is a review of the environmental impact report for Calcatreu by a multidisciplinary environmental council (COPEAM) consisting of various stakeholders within the Rio Negro Province. Once this panel has issued their opinion, the next step in the process is a public hearing followed by the final resolution issued by the environmental authority.

Calcatreu is the Company´s flagship project and is located in the southern portion of the Rio Negro Province, 85 kms south of the community of Ing. Jacobacci. The project is centered on a low sulfidation, epithermal gold and silver system with mineralization outcropping at the surface. The total measured and indicated mineral resources are estimated at 9.84 million tonnes at an average grade 2.11 g/t Au and 19.8 g/t Ag (2.36 g/t gold equivalent) and 8.08 million tonnes of inferred mineral resources grading 1.34 g/t Au and 13.1 g/t Ag (1.5 g/t gold equivalent), as disclosed in the Technical Report (as defined below).

Once the final resolution is issued, the Company expects to conduct further studies to determine the project’s mineral reserves, which may lead to development of a heap leach operation to produce gold and silver doré at Calcatreu. The Company has ample experience with heap leach operations, having put two heap leach operations into production over the last decade.
