We look forward to drilling San Acacio this year while we advance our understanding of the geologic system and mineralization controls at Tepal. 2020 was a busy year for the field teams at OreQuest and Defiance, and we are eager to safely continue the work programs through the end of this year and into 2021."

Since OreQuest's appointment last fall, their team has completed a systematic review of Defiance's projects; they have been successful in executing exploration activities leading to the reinterpretation of key geologic models, and generating several exciting targets that are now drill ready. Their past experience in finding orebodies is a key asset to our company moving forward."
