Since mid-October, Orosur has drilled three holes of its planned 15,000m diamond drilling programme.
“These initial results are extremely encouraging, supporting the presence of high gold mineralization over significant intervals and increasing confidence in the mineral body beyond the 17,000m of previous drilling prior to the acquisition of the project by OMI,” said chief executive Ignacio Salazar.
