Additionally, we see room for improvement in metal recoveries, which will improve payable metals and byproduct credits. Looking toward the coming quarters, we are focused on continuing our drilling programs around Platosa and on the developing Platosa-style target 11 kilometers northwest at Jaboncillo, while we ramp up drill programs at Oakley and Silver City in the coming weeks.”
