To date, the CJV has advanced the 3.5 m high by 3.5 m wide adit approximately 95 m at a 15% decline from surface. At 95m the adit intersected the Farellon Vein system over a true width at that point of 1.8 m.

The underground drill and associated gear was purchased from a Canadian supplier and has now cleared Chilean Customs and arrived at site.

The underground drilling will consist of short 10-25m holes along an optimal pattern to confirm an underground resource and reserve.
Concurrent to the drill program Altiplano continues to advance the underground adit an additional 360 m to its targeted length of 500m.
