Brian Wesson stated: "Otso is pleased with the results of the Feasibility Study and thanks BOYD for their significant contribution to the project. The Feasibiltiy Study provides the Company with reserves to underpin a minimum of five years of mine life. The Company will continue its exploration and infill drilling program to replace and expand our reserve base on an ongoing basis. The publication of reserves is the first time the project has had proven and probable reserves since its acquisition by the Company".
