Summary
San Lorenzo is funded for 50,000 meters of drilling plus ongoing IP surveys at its flagship Salvadora property in Chile's mega porphyry belt.
The CEO outlines district-scale potential, citing multimillion-ounce gold-copper targets across Cerro Blanco, Arco de Oro, San Juan, and Tres Amigos.
Recent drill programs at Cerro Blanco and San Juan support a thesis of hundreds of millions of tons of mineralization, not tens of millions.
San Lorenzo holds $23M in cash (rising to $40M with warrants) and owns 100% of its 119 square kilometer Salvadora claims with paved road access.
Incoming CEO Brandon Gaspar and board additions Dan Noone and Sam Rennelli bring more than $3 billion in mining transaction experience.
