As previously reported (news release dated December 23, 2021) the drilling program was suspended because northern Brasil experienced a prolonged and higher intensity wet season than normal which commenced in December 2021 and only subsided during April 2022.

Drilling has resumed on hole 4 of the planned 10-hole (1500m combined meterage) programme. Progress and results will be reported in due course. The completed and planned hole locations are presented on the figure below.
