"The Paranaíta Gold Project represents an exceptionally compelling opportunity, and with the recent appointment of Paulo Misk as our Brazil-based CEO, we now have the team in place to deliver on our ambitions. Our fully funded exploration campaign is progressing rapidly: we have completed 3,100 metres of trenching, identified multiple mineralised veins with visible gold, and now have two drill rigs operating on site.
