“On the heels of a very positive result from our recently completed 1,000 tonne bulk sample at Pardo, we are moving ahead with engineering studies to build on our technical knowledge and test real-world mining equipment in preparation for the next phase of development, which will involve larger scale trial mining,” said Stefan Spears, Chairman and CEO.
