Processing plant and tailings handling upgrades and equipment purchases for the planned production expansion have been underway and are mostly installed.  Once the first stage of the expansion is completed, the planned second phase would increase processing capacity to a range of 1,200 tpd to 1,500 tpd by Q3 2027; essentially doubling production capacity once again.

Beyond the production growth, we also focus on the substantial exploration programs planned for the 2nd half of this year both district-scale land packages.
