Minnova Corp. provided a corporate update on discovery stage La Esperanza property in Peru and ongoing efforts to further de-risk and enhance PL Mine re-start plan. Following the acquisition of the La Esperanza property in Peru in late October 2018 the company engaged Peruvian consultants to complete requisite environmental studies and community engagement activities in advance of planned field work in Spring of 2019. It is anticipated that all requisite approvals will be in place to start inaugural 2019 work program of mapping, trenching, bulk sampling and up to 1,500 metres of drilling on the la Esperanza and Poderosa veins by March 2019. At PL Mine additional results from 7 holes (30 assays) from Metallic Screen Fire Assay (MSFA) check assay program have been received and compared against Original Fire Assay's (OFA's). The latest MSFA results continue to exhibit positive, and in some cases negative variation, as compared to the OFA's and continue to support a potential increase in gold grades by an average of 18%. The MSFA check samples were selected from a subset of samples that were used to create composite intervals for the 2017 resource calculation. Composite intervals were selected to test the response of variable grade sample intervals to MSFA. The course reject and corresponding pulp for each of the original samples were placed in labeled sample bags, documented by geological staff, and packaged in rice bags with security zip-ties for shipment. Samples were delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Thunder Bay, ON. At the lab each course reject and pulp was reconstituted into a new sample by laboratory staff. The samples were processed to extinction by the laboratory to fully test the entire sample for inhomogenously distributed course and fine gold particles. The FA procedure utilised a 50g aliquot, compared to the standard 30g aliquot utilised by Minnova Corp. The results of the MSFA samples were incorporated into the sample database and used to recalculate the original composite intervals.
