we would like to process our manganese in the United States

The majority of the holes are into the carbonate replacement deposit. We're now source searching for the source that caused that deposit to be formed.

One is a skarn that's uh about Let's use Canadian terms, 4 km away. We're seeing in sampling, you know, up to 2% of copper at surface and a lot of samples at 0.05 sitting above chargeability anomaly.

we just put out some infill drilling on uh was a high-grade silver zone. Um we're hitting on 90% of our infill holes or 95%.

we have 224 million oz of silver at Baron Gielin measured and indicated further 20 million inferred.

right now we're looking at one of the southern states for a processing facility

the US government, could we be in production by 2029? Maybe, I think it'll be a bit of a push. Uh, certainly we could be producing copper and silver. Manganese might take several years beyond that.

we've got two and a half years to accomplish it or get our ducks in a row. Given that administrations change.

We're going to test two regional targets. That needs to be drill tested. And it will be next month.

We'll have our pre-feas out Q1 of next year. I'd like to have it out before the big mining show in Canada, PDAC. So, before the end of February.

We're in southern Peru. We fit that perfectly.

They're interested in our manganese because they want to have sources in the Western Hemisphere. I was just meeting with the US government.

essentially is two retired three star U.S. marine generals and a former ambassador to Venezuela, Colombia and Afghanistan

when I uh picked up Barsele our flagship project for five five and a half years ago now, the price of silver, I remember it was $17. When we closed the negotiations with uh SSR Mining

My biggest shareholder though, Eric Sprott, I I think Eric would sit here in this chair and tell you, "Hey, I silver's going to be $250 in 2 years."

you need probably 18 to 24 months of testing. The because of our silver, while we're waiting for those off-takes to come on stream, we can bump up the silver production.

They set up meetings for us in the Pentagon, Department of Energy.
