For those following the geology, the lower elevation LDM offers a window into the supergene enrichment zone that is covered my hundreds of meters of overburden (the oxide cap) on the greater part of the ADL. What is being found at the LDM may well hold true throughout the ADL. That is why another poster commenting on this fact stated “Even better, each significant discovery reflects very positively on the ADL as well thus increasing the value of that property and our 15% FCI there. The LDM is a lever doing big work on a small budget.”
The LDM simply allows us a sneak peak into the depths of the Alto de Lipangue plateau. By virtue of the erosion that allowed early miners access to these high values, we also are allowed access to collect data via tunnel and adit at ground level what would have cost a small fortune to replicate in vertical diamond hole drilling further east from atop the plateau.
