Led by Mining Sense technical director Jesús Montero, the consultancy team will assist with the preparation of exploration drilling sites and contracting drilling operators, as well as undertaking the first desktop study on the local area and industrial operations.
Mining Sense will work with the company to provide a preliminary economic assessment and conceptual mine plan for the Toral project, while assessing development pathways for potentially bringing the project into production.
