OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Berenguela Project ("the Project")
@valorresources
The basic concept for the Berenguela project is a shallow open pit mine with low strip ratio and treatment based on conventional reductive acid-leach processing technology, to generate a product mix of copper cathode, manganese metal and sulphate, and silver bullion. The Company remains focused on that outcome.
Directors Brian McMaster Nicholas Lindsay
During the quarter, several work-streams were undertaken concurrently.
Paula Smith
In Peru, re-logging of core has been completed together with mapping of the orebody at a scale of 1:2000. This increases the detail of the mineralisation for improvements in exploration planning.

Options:
The PFS is in progress, with the immediate emphasis on validating and upscaling the process route to treat the Project's polymetallic ore. This is work-in-progress and to date has not revealed any anomalies in the process. Once validation is complete, a second stage of testwork will commence to generate the parameters for process engineering and project cost structure. The PFS remains on track for delivery in Q3 2019.
