Highlights
Colombia
-- On June 27, 2022, assay results from five additional holes in
APTA were announced. Reasonable grades of gold were intercepted in
two of the holes and the other holes showed lower levels of gold
but high-grade copper and zinc evident at depth. As planned,
drilling focus was then shifted to Pepas and Pupino.
-- On September 6, 2022, subsequent to the quarter end, the
Company announced assay results from the Pepas prospect to the
north of Anza, including assay results from PEP001 which returned a
substantial, high-grade intersection of 150.9m @ 3.00g/t Au (from
surface). Also announced on that day, was that Monte Aguila had
informed the Company that it had met its expenditure of US$4m for
the year.
-- On September 9, 2022, the Company that announced that its JV
partner, Monte Águila, provided the Company with a Phase 1 Earn-In
Notice, having completed all of the Phase 1 obligations, including
investing US$10 million in the Anza Project. The Company and Monte
Aguila will begin the process of forming a new mining company
("Mining Company") that will hold title to the Anza Project's
concessions and applications. The Company was also notified by
Monte Aguila that in accordance with the Exploration Agreement, it
will enter Phase 2 following negotiation and execution of a joint
venture agreement to govern the operations of the Mining Company.
Once the Mining Company is formed, which is expected to take
several months, Orour will initially have 49% ownership and Monte
Aguila, 51% ownership in the Mining Company, which will be managed
by Monte Aguila.
-- On October 21,2022, the Company announced assay results from
four additional diamond drill holes at Pepas and Pupino. Both the
Pepas and Pupino prospects are located in the northern region of
the Anzá Prospect, roughly 12km and 8km respectively north
northeast from the central APTA prospect that had seen most
drilling at Anzá up until early 2022. At PEPAS, holes PEP005 and
PEP007 were drilled from the same pad as PEP001 but in different
directions. Both holes returned substantial gold intersections,
with the best at PEP007 being 80.55m @ 3.05g/t Au from surface
(including 41.75m @ 5.24g/t). Two additional holes are currently
underway from new pads in an attempt to better define the geometry
of the mineralised body at Pepas.
Argentina
-- On June 28, 2022, the Company announced further positive
results from the in-fill program, confirming previous work and
results. High levels of gold soil anomalies, over 1 km, including
150 ppb, plus pathfinder elements over a wider area are suggestive
of a major epithermal system. This work has defined a high priority
target to be followed up in the coming two months.
Uruguay
-- In Uruguay, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Loryser,
continues to focus its activities on the implementation of the
Creditors Agreement and the sale of its Uruguayan assets. Loryser
is also continuing with the reclamation and remediation of the
tailings dam which is nearing completion.
-- During the course of the year, Loryser agreed and paid for
the settlements with all of its former employees, with the proceeds
received from the sale of certain of its assets.
-- Good progress is being made on the sale of Loryser's other
assets including plant and equipment. The proceeds from all of
these sales will be used to pay liabilities in Uruguay in
connection with the aforementioned Creditors Agreement.
On August 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of US$ 3,634k
(May 31, 2022: US$ 4,221k). As at the date of this announcement the
Company had a cash balance of US$ 3,033k.
Outlook and Strategy
During the period, the Company continued its focus on developing
the potential at Anza in Colombia as well as progressing its
Ariquemes tin project in Brazil, and its El Pantano gold/silver
project in Argentina. The combination of the three projects have
transformed the Company into a well-balanced minerals exploration
company.
The Company will continue to build its project portfolio with
other high-quality assets, whilst concluding the orderly closure of
its historical operations in Uruguay.
