"We have a hovercraft that moves on top of the tailings, allowing us to reduce the tailings ponds and evaporation. This is critical for us because our main bottleneck in terms of production today is water availability."
"We are now well on our way down that path with active exploration ongoing at both our projects, and we can expect to announce drill results from both Santa Cecilia and Margarita starting in the last half of 2023."
