Moreover, the Antilles prospecting report cited by the source indicates that after prospecting 15,000 meters, they found an area with a high content of metals between 69 and 81 meters deep, including a cracking with a concentration of 19.46 g/t gold and 286.88 g/t silver.

The drilling results allow estimating, according to the Australian company, that the La Demajagua project probably contains more than 1.2 million ounces of gold and 8.7 million ounces of silver, although that figure could increase as greater depths are reached in what remains of the year.

Antilles and its Cuban partner GeoMinera are accelerating work to start production and aim to release an inaugural JORC 2012 resource — Australasia Code for Reporting Results of Exploration, Mineral Resources and Gold Reserves — before the close of 2021.
