Thanks Javier for another great interview. This Rodruin discovery is quite a big deal for Aton in many ways. I particularly like how they discovered it end of 2017 following active year with regional exploration program. Then started 2018 off with results from that and more to follow. Great for news flow.
Also see CEO's quote in recent news release: still on plan for commerciality at Hamama. Watch for 1-2 punch combos from Rodruin and Hamama through 2018 and beyond.
Glad to see all the chatter here on the bullboards. Keep it classy.

My favourite bit from the interview:
Javier Ordua: The carbonates are interesting, Peter.
There are some VMS deposits around the world, Mattabi-style, that are associated with carbonate alteration and we have discussed for a long time, exactly what the carbonate at Hamama really represents. It's clearly related to mineralization but, until we found Rodruin, it appeared to be a one-off.
The fact that we've now found very similar mineralization at Rodruin tells us that Hamama was not just a one-off. We have some ideas on the genesis of the mineralization, but we are still bouncing them around. In short, we believe the presence of carbonate is related to the ultramafics.
