Overview
The La Ortiguita property lies on the El Indio trend, close to Barrick Gold's giant Pascua-Lama and Veladero deposits. Exploration thus far has targeted a porphyry copper-gold/epithermal gold system. In 2010, we carried out a 3,000-metre reverse-circulation drilling campaign on the property to assess targets identified by geophysical and geochemical surveys conducted between 2007 and 2009. The results confirmed the potential of the silicified zone in the east part of the prospect. A 2,300-metre drilling campaign is planned for 2011 to test for mineralization in this area.
