The findings reveal a 2 km by 1 km gold-silver anomaly with multiple promising zones for shallow and deeper mineralization. Astra plans to begin a fully-funded 2,500-metre drilling program in early 2027 to test these targets, aiming to advance the project towards potential development. This adds to Astra's portfolio of precious metals projects in Latin America, highlighting Don Mario's potential in a prolific mining region.
