    The MoW project has shown promising results through 3,640 meters of diamond core drilling, revealing significant quantities of magnetic and heavy rare earths in both grade and thickness. For more detailed results, Verde referenced press releases issued on October 7, October 29, and November 18, 2024.

    Due to the project’s high potential and the substantial investments required for its development, the Board of Directors has determined that MoW should be pursued by an independent entity.
