Condor Gold announced that the first 26 drill holes for a combined 1,296 m of diamond drill core have been completed on the La India Starter Pit infill drilling programme. The primary objective of the drilling programme is to provide 25 m spaced drill sampling within the two shallow (up to 35 m deep), high-grade Starter Pits within the main La India Open Pit Mineral Reserve. Drilling on the Northern Starter Pit has been completed with 25 drill holes for 1,273 m, four of which have twinned existing RC drill holes. Drilling has now commenced on the Southern Starter Pit with two rigs drilling, the first three holes have already been completed. Initial drill results have now been received for the first two drill holes located at the northern end of the Northern Starter Pit. Initial Assay Results: Results have been received for the first two drill holes which were located at the northern end of the Northern Starter Pit. Both drill holes were collared (started) within the surface expression of the main mineralised zone where it is covered by a few metres of alluvium, and drilled to test the footwall part of the main zone and explore the underlying host rock. The assay results confirmed the geological model and grade of the Main Zone, and discovered an additional vein in the footwall rock approximately 12 m below the Main Zone. The footwall vein appears to be an extension of a vein previously drilled some 50 m along strike to the southwest and was classified as inferred mineral resource in the 2019 Mineral Resource Estimate. Assay results pending from other infill drill holes will enable a more confident and accurate geological model of this vein and will be rapidly evaluated as potentially additional mineral resource and mineral reserve available for inclusion in the mine schedule. Drilling Programme - Looking Ahead: The drilling programme is constantly being assessed and adapted based on geological observations from core logging. Quartz veins and breccias have been identified within the footwall host rock, in some cases, 10 to 20 m below the Main Vein in both the Northern and Southern Starter Pits. Consequently, selected neighboring infill drill holes are being extended beyond the originally planned depth to target the footwall quartz vein and brecias. The goal is to rapidly upgrade and potentially extend existing inferred mineral resources to the indicated mineral resource category, and their potential inclusion in the mine schedule. To-date approximately 1,300 m of diamond core drilling has been completed. It is anticipated that another 800 m of drilling will be required to complete the 25 m-spaced infill and RC-drill replacement drilling within the two Starter Pits (for a total of approximately 2100 m drilling, including 6 RC-twin holes for approximately 413 m). Note that some drill holes have been removed from the programme which had originally been penciled in to test zones marginal grade mineralization, saving approximately 500 m from the programme. Following completion of the drilling in the Southern Starter Pit, the next stage in the infill drilling programme is to twin drill an additional 17 RC drill holes (1392 m of drilling) that are located near to the starter pits. A decision to proceed with this stage will be made after analyzing the variability in assay results between the RC and twin diamond core drill holes, and a review of the confidence in the geological model in these zones to decide if the twin drilling is required.
