A rig is now on site and was due to begin turning overnight on Sunday, September 17.
Prospero plans to drill 12 holes at Petate to test four targets - Apartadero SE, Apartadero Central, Tajo and Petate No. 3
It is being carried out as part of its continuing 6,950m reconnaissance drill campaign financed by strategic partner Fortuna Silver Mines Inc
