The Company will initially focus on drilling the numerous veins within the high-grade La Escarcha Gold Mine. Veins are up to 5 meters wide and contain significant visible gold. Golden Hill’s staff have reported that gold grades increase downwards from surface to the 60 m level which was under limited development.

Over the last couple of months, our team has worked tirelessly to prepare the site for ongoing drilling activities and to accurately map the numerous veins in La Escarcha.
