In the first phase, drilling to a depth of 2,000metres will continue to test the potential for a significant silver-zinc-lead resource underneath the Santa Rosa and Milagros-Sally mine workings.

The initial series of holes will be drilled to depths of approximately 250metres from drill platforms adjacent to the deposit that is yet undrilled.

Focus Ventures is acquiring advanced, drill-ready projects in Peru and its strategy is to identify and acquire former producing mines or untested gold, silver and base metal properties that show potential to become new mines.
