William Murray, the Chairman of Prospero said: “Prospero’s plan for the coming field season is to continue value-added work to our existing project portfolio, and to finalise arrangements to acquire more projects. The ‘first-pass’ drilling of three projects in 2017 with strategic partner Fortuna Silver essentially validated Tawn Albinson’s exploration strategy for epithermal systems. Pachuca SE, for example, was totally blind at surface, and yet all three holes have identified extensive mineralised structures. We now look forward to the continuation of this rapid assessment exploration approach on three other projects, namely Buenavista; Trias and Bermudez. This private placement is an important first step toward raising what we hope will be sufficient funding for roughly 6,000m of core drilling during 2018.”
