"The company is very pleased with the response to this capital raising with strong support coming from new shareholders. WE were delighted with our phase 1 drilling last year which produced multiple high-grade intercepts at Cerro Grande Including 3.71% Cu over 20.6m (true width) in hole 27. The Sangre del Toro area is now drill ready where substantial mineralization has been identified at surface with some great trenching results including 9.15m @ 16.45g/t Au and 1.9% Cu. Our friends at Oroco Resource Corp (OCO.V) own the nearby Santo Thomas project and have a $CAD175,000,000 market cap. We are 50km from Piedra Verdes which is Mexico's third largest copper producer who are always interested in our progress as they see us as a potential future source of ore. We have a world class technical team led by Peter Megaw. When you consider what La Adelita has going for it I'm not surprised we were oversubscribed" stated Matt Hudson, president and CEO. "Now that the financing is closed we can get on with the drilling of these exciting targets.
Preparations have begun for commencement of drilling in the next fortnight. Construction of access tracks to drill pads where required will commence Monday 1st May. The exploration camp is also being cleaned and stocked in order to accommodate the drill team. The drill rig is expected to arrive on site early next week with drilling expected to commence during the week beginning Monday 8th May. A detailed description of the drill program and its objectives will be released to the market prior to commencement of drilling.
