Pacifico Minerals has raised over $4 million from investors to fund ongoing developments at its lead-silver-zinc project, Sorby Hills.

The project, which has an eight year lifespan, is located roughly 50 kilometres from Kununurra, Western Australia.
Sorby Hills has received plenty of investment this year, with an additional $4 million raised for the project in April.
