Summary:
In 2014, 2,866 meters were drilled in nine diamond-drill perforations from inside the mine aimed at intercepting the Mary Vein, to delineate new inferred resources with 70 x 70 meter grids at 200 meters below 1,070 level (3,960 masl). The boreholes also intercepted the Ramal Mary and Tensionales veins with positive results in terms of polymetallic mineralization, mainly zinc. The ore potential in Manto Principal has been confirmed with favorable results. Principal has been confirmed with favorable results.
