With the positive results received so far from our Zoro property and others nearby, we look forward to exploring the newly acquired claims.  Far is currently drilling at Zoro, and we are looking forward to learning more about its potential and controls on lithium mineralisation.   The current drill program at Zoro will be followed by additional surface exploration on all our optioned ground  to determine the potential for a mineable resource.”
