So all I'd, I mean, the reality is it still is early days, right? So we've had incredible success to date, but we really haven't done that much exploration. If you look at the soil geochemistry, it's been a fantastic guide for mineralization. So we have simply drilled underneath the soil anomalies to date, and lo and behold, we've hit good mineralization. So if you were looking at the obvious areas of focus, it would be following the geochem anomaly. And by default, the areas of less interest are therefore the ones that sit outside that. Now, that doesn't mean that those areas are unworthy of exploration, but it'd be a lower priority target for us. And as you know, we have that northern block which sits to the north of Rio Tinto's Comida project, and we have the southern block Which is largely unexplored. Very little work has been done there. So I guess to try and answer that question as best as I can, soil geochemistry has been a fantastic guide. We haven't really done any down on the southern block. So that's a critical path. And for the time being, we will be following the soil GCOM on the northern part.
Joe Vanden Elsen — Mining Stock Daily · Andina's Cobrasco: Exploration Update from Colombia · 2026-08-26One thing that I'm very proud of is that we've achieved a very strong local social license very quickly. So we acquired the project in July of last year. We were drilling— I should remember this, but if I'm not mistaken, it was October of last year when we started drilling. And since that time, we've executed Niron flawlessly and at the same time managed fantastic relationships with the local stakeholders and authorities. And it's only for that reason that we were able to operate under a less than favorable federal regime. And I'm referring to the, to the outgoing president who finished his term earlier this month. The reality of Colombia, however, unlike Argentina where I am at the moment, is that it's a federal system. And so the, you know, the long-term permitting required to support a porphyry copper development in Chocó is going to be federally driven. And that's something that is unlikely to have been, well, it's certainly going to have been more challenging under the old administration. So if you look at the old administration, one of the interesting things is that they were, however, supportive of copper as a future source of economic growth and development for the country. And as a means of reducing their reliance upon fossil fuels, so namely coal and oil. They, the Cordoba Minerals, the Alacran project, formerly owned by Cordoba Minerals, the TSXV issuer, Friedland-backed company, which was taken over by a Chinese group. They actually had their open pit environmental license for a large-scale copper project approved earlier this year under the old administration. So this is my long-winded way of saying we did a fantastic job under the old administration. The old administration was supportive of large-scale copper development. Under the new administration, however, I think the real value is going to be in expediting some of these long-lead items and providing a more attractive framework for foreign investors. Which can only be a good thing for companies such as ourselves. I think what you see is that Colombia has been a jurisdiction where majors have gone in and out of it. Rio Tinto, our immediate neighbor, being a case in point. I think they've gone in and out a couple of times over the last 20 years. So with a new favorable or pro-mining, pro-foreign investment administration, I'd expect to see more exploration in Colombia.
Joe Vanden Elsen — Mining Stock Daily · Andina's Cobrasco: Exploration Update from Colombia · 2026-08-26So it's just, it's just, you can always imagine when these negotiations are happening, and let's not forget Rio Tinto didn't want it. They were like, no, we don't want your money. Honestly, we really don't want this. And the government force-fed it down their throat. And at that point you kind of go, you know, when you're strategizing before the meeting, it's like, listen, we're playing a game. We're thinking in decade plus, right? These guys are thinking to the next election. And as a consequence, it's so easy to get the better part of the deal. If you're gonna do it, it's like, hey, if they're gonna force this deal down our throat, let's make it as advantageous as possible for us. Of course they would. You know, before anyone, oh, you're an evil corporate bastard. Well, maybe, but wouldn't you? Who else doesn't look after their own interests in a negotiation? And I'm just saying the government, government, which is our representative, should look after our interests when they're in the negotiation. It's like, okay, we're going to do it, but we're going to make sure that the Australian taxpayer at least gets something out of it. And it's just, it's a bad deal top to bottom. And that's, I've run out of puff. I don't know what else there is to say. Well, and this except we'll be doing more of this and we've already done more of it. And it gives a taste of things to come.

At Cargalho, the 6-meter channel returned 7.29 grams per tonne gold, including 2 meters at 16.2 grams per tonne. And a new quartz sulfide breccia zone 260 meters east of the historical vein returned approximately 10 meters of 1.77 grams per tonne gold.
