The strategy is backed by approximately A$9 million in cash, but still depends on studies, approvals and shareholder decisions.

Piche Resources has identified a broad gold-silver system at Toro Hosco in Argentina after completing its maiden 5,911-metre drilling campaign. The exploration progress came alongside a $5.27 million annual loss, $5.22 million operating cash outflow and reliance on post-year-end equity funding.
