Supported by pathfinder elements, these results signify significant epithermal\/porphyry discovery potential,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Next steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>BRX is currently concluding field activities ahead of the onset of winter.<\/p>\n<p>During this season, it will analyse and interpret geochemical findings concerning the Malambo target, analyse geochemical sampling and Anaconda geological mapping at Tembo South and carry out a comprehensive 3D geochemical analysis of results from the Toro North, Toro Central, Toro South, Malambo and Tambo projects.<\/p>\n<p>Other work will include completing the environmental baseline, interpret geophysics data, analyse water samples and revising the Malambo and Tambo environmental impact assessments to expand the Malambo drilling permits from the current 2000m to over 5000m.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Belararox, 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.
