In parallel to this, work has commenced on our recently granted concessions which are adjacent to the Picha project,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team is finalising the drill targets, with a significant number identified across the project area through the work program completed in 2021. The challenge now is to prioritise the targets and chose which holes are to be drilled first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is particularly exciting about this project is the new targets that continue to be identified by the team in Peru, with two new targets already identified in the first field program of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to the results from these targets and for more news on additional targets.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Upcoming activity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Valor is close to finalising drill targets following the receipt of results from the spectral survey.<\/p>\n<p>It is now progressing drill program approvals with drilling planned for the September quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Picha currently covers a total area (in both granted and applied concessions) totalling 200sqkm about 17km south of Buenaventura\u2019s 2.5Moz San Gabriel gold porphyry project.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Valor Resources, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
