Argentina Gold expects to drill at least another six or seven holes on the
Amable target at its Veladero project in Argentina's Andes, Lukas Lundin
told the company's annual meeting Thursday morning in Vancouver. "It
depends on what happens when we go to the east and west," Mr. Lundin told
the 85 attendees. The promoter expects to host a trip to the site for
Argentina Gold followers in early December. Mr. Lundin also notes the
company's burn rate is about $700,000 per month, and the company will be
"pretty good" financially to the end of March. "I hope a lot of action
happens between now and March," he told the meeting. The drilling season on
the property runs from September to May.
Mr. Lundin says the company has no plans to activate a second drill rig
before January, although he wants to "develop as big a resource as we can
as quickly as we can this season." The promoter explains that if Argentina
Gold puts a second drill on the property now, the results will come too
fast, and they are already fast enough. The company is currently starting
drilling on hole 90. Mr. Lundin notes that seven of Newmont Mining's
Yanococha geologists have been on the Veladero property for two weeks and
will remain on-site for another week. On the stock end, the promoter
estimates Argentina Gold's public float is currently about 15 million
shares.
