The Azul Tin Project comprises a 671-hectare Mining License that has been the subject of small-scale mining in the past from two open pits located approximately 200 metres apart. To date 51 diamond drill holes have been completed (for a total of approximately 3,700 metres) to test extensions of the tin mineralization exposed in the pits. The drilling has resulted in the definition of a tin resource not compliant with National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards; the Company plans to review the project data and drill core in the coming months, with a view to preparing a compliant resource statement.
