Not long until the expected drilling permits

I think this might be an important point that horseewithnoname raises.

The drilling permits signal, on the one hand, that the expected increase in resources is finally getting closer and, on the other hand, the acceptance of the community.

And the last is indeed a very important signal that could create enormous trust.

There is no doubt in my mind that the government supports it.

And only when drilling can new resources be discovered.

In my opinion, Sur can be expected to double from 2.2 to 4.4 MRD p Cu, Verde is promising and good for surprises, but should at least reach the level of Sur.

This means that the current resource of 16.6 MRD p Cu could be expanded by a further 6.6 MRD p Cu.

That would correspond to a whopping expansion of 40%.

If I understand correctly, drilling permits are expected in the last third of Q3, so in about 3 months.

That won't be long now.

I believe that any addtional resource delineation with have a minor impact compared to moving forward with the feasibility study based on current mining capacitiy. Additional resources most likely add only to the lifetime of the mine but not so much to the NPV as the depreciation will take away a lot. So in my opinion, moving forward in the FS based on the current PEA and some improvements from

Drill within a few months.
