Flowing from the close of the current field program, the Company believes that data from holes FSDH025 and FSDH026, warrants further delineation of the Filo del Sol resource at depth.  In addition to continue exploration work, in 2019/2020 the Company will also maintain focus on ongoing environmental studies and data collection in support of project permitting, for the progression of engineering work on the project.

Filo Mining was recently mentioned in Swedish media. In relation to any discussions with other mining companies, the Company would like to clarify that the statements were intended to confirm that we see the merits of bringing in a corporate partner.  While the Company may engage in discussions with third parties from time to time, the Company does not currently have any binding agreements or commitments and there is no guarantee that any potential future discussions will be had, or that any such future discussions will result in a partner coming into the Filo del Sol project.
