Vast Resources plc announced that its second Mantis CMR4 production drilling rig has been delivered to site at the Baita Plai Polymetallic Mine in Romania. As previously reported, the implementation of the Mantis drilling rigs will increase drilling by up to 3.5 times with a reduction of labour at the drilling face, thereby allowing additional faces to be worked.   This second Mantis drill rig will be deployed during the course of this week to develop infrastructure from below 18 level on the Antonio Skarn, to a planned 21 level elevation for commencement of the new decline in the first week of Third Quarter 2022 as programmed. With the two new Mantis drills on-site and the transition to mechanised mining, together with the implementation of long hole stope mining, significantly increased production output is expected from the end of second quarter of 2022 onwards.
