Notable Quotes
- Dr. Ruben Padilla, President and CEO: "The expansion of the Zorro project through both the staking of additional open ground and the acquisition of the El Acero claim strengthens our control of the district and supports our long-term exploration strategy. While the El Acero claim itself has seen limited modern exploration, the combination of new staking and property consolidation provides greater flexibility for future exploration programs and supports our district-scale approach at Zorro."
