The Harvest VMS deposit is in good company. To the north in Eritrea Nevsun Resources (TSX: NSU) hit commercial production at their Bisha project, a VMS deposit, in February. Nevsun is open-pit mining a gold rich upper zone, and will eventually move into lower, base metal rich zones. This past March, the first month of full production, it produced 34,000 ounces gold, for a first quarter total of 75,000 ounces gold, and all told it has pegged proven and probable reserves at 28 million tonnes @ 1.78 g/t Au, 38.9 g/t Ag, 1.6 percent Cu and 3.15 percent zinc. Presumably Tigray Resources will aim to leverage that poly-metallic path forged by Nevsun in the region.
