“We are grateful for Agnico Eagle’s continued support as we advance the Guayabales Project. This financing enables us to expand our drill program, target new high-grade zones, and unlock further value for our shareholders.”
Utilization of Funds & Exploration Focus
The proceeds from the investment will primarily be allocated toward:
- Expanding step-out drilling at the Apollo System to define additional high-grade zones.
- Advancing exploration of the newly discovered Trap, X, and Tower Targets.
- Strengthening the Ramp Zone drilling program to assess its high-grade potential.
