Los Cerros (LCL) has kickstarted drilling at the Tesorito Prospect in Columbia.
Tesorito is part of the Quinchia Gold Project, which is located in central west Colombia, 100 kilometres south of Medellin.
Hole TS-DH08 is currently being drilled, with aims to determine the continuity of gold mineralisation at the prospect.
This hole has a planned depth of 400 metres and is expected to take most of August to complete. Results are then expected in mid-September and they will be used to form the basis of a focussed resource drilling campaign.
A second hole will then be drilled to explore and define a recently identified gold-molybdenum soil geochemistry anomaly to the north of Tesorito.
