Sixteen drill holes are planned totaling 2,000 metres. Combined, the El Tajo and La Colorada veins have been traced for over a 900 metre strike length on surface. In addition, a new vein system called La Valenciana has been defined approximately 750 metres to the south-west of El Tajo. The La Valenciana vein system is traceable on surface for over 450 metres as a series of exposures and underground workings supported by trenching, geophysics, and soil and rock sampling.
