ZINC IS IN THE ASCENDANCY in educational programs and we support a hospital . We ’ re partnering with the local government and local non-profits to construct and operate the Central Educational & Vocational El Mochito . This technical school on site will have several courses on offer ranging from welding , electrical , geology and chemistry to develop local skills in the country . We ’ re also committed to battling low nutritional levels with a school meals program supporting 750 local children . It ’ s vital for us that El Mochito is a mine for Hondurans and that they ’ re considered for important employment roles , which works alongside our strategy of giving El
Mochito back to the residents .” Buncic is full of enthusiasm for Ascendant ’ s future and the future of El Mochito . “ We have a talented team in place with more than a decade of experience at the mine so we will add exploration to expand the resource ,” he promises . “ Then we will be able to justify expansion of the mill and potentially go north of 3000 tons per day . But we need to make sure that makes sense with our exact pricing and mine-life projections because we ’ re growing a company long term and we would like to grow Ascendant Resources into a really large company !” With his drive and focus , don ’ t bet against it .
