RE:RE:Platosa newsThe Gap Zone is the area above the current workings and its size is larger than existing mined zones. It is a new discovery, so it needs extensive drilling first. The fact that the Gap Zone is situated above the water level is a major advantage.
Mining in Platosa has been "spotty", no question about it, but the bigger issue was that in the absence of sustained drilling to replenish mined ore, Platosa mine had a short LOM. The problem was so dire that the company was considering other options such as focusing on Kilgore and Silver City instead.
