Mr. Richardson found some time in his busy schedule to answer my query's regarding all of AMZ projects.
Currentlythere are no drills turning at the Cerrado Verde project as they havedone all the drilling needed to outline the first resource 43-101 whichis anticipated in the next few weeks. Jed says that they do not intendto drill the whole deposit rather specifically only that needed for asignificant mine life for the scoping study which will start thisspring, he went on to say that they may do some additional drillinglater on in the year on other portions of the deposit that we areconsidering for development. This sounds like they may be planning adrill program down the road to expand the deposit
Thefocus right now is on the metallurgical that CETEM's working on rightnow as well as determining the operating cost for the ThermoPotashproject and test work that will allow AMZ to manufacture other Potashproducts.
The plan for Madeira the goldproperty is to start work on the property in the coming months withground penetrating radar to delineate targets and have drills on theproperty in Q3.
The vanadium property,Tucano, Jed says they will begin drilling that property in March-April,with the view of delineating a resource at some point this year.
Jeds closing statement:
There is a lot going on here at Amazon, it is looking like a very interesting year.
