According to Brian Wesson, 1,900 meters have been drilled by now and another 8,100 meters are to be drilled. Wesson still believes Otso Gold will get the gold mine back into production. It has taken time to reorganize the company, but now we are focusing on the technical store, the development of a new mining plan, and the feasibility of a restart. Otso Gold's goal is to mine 6,000 tonnes of ore annually, assuming that there are 1.55 grams of gold per tonne of ore.
