Akiba also shares the many regional targets they still have at El Golfo, Potrerillos, and La Segoviana, with the new “El Silencio” targets at La Segoviana getting some ongoing exploration work.   There should be more exploration results from both Las Conchitas, and some of these regional targets coming to the market over the next couple of months.

Next Akiba outlines we get a rough timeline for permitting and the key work initiatives at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana, recently acquired through the merger with Goldsource Mines. We wrap up with the Company initiative to make another acquisition by year-end, or at the latest Q1 of next year, as another key upcoming catalyst.
