In this episode of Assay TV, we turn our attention to Portugal as we sit down with Mark Brennan, the executive chairman and founder of Canadian-listed explorer Ascendant Resources Inc. (TSX: ASND). The company is focused on the Lagoa Salgada VMS project, which is located on the prolific Iberian Pyrite Belt in the south of the country.
Mark discusses the company’s recent drilling success, with assays indicating a high-grade copper corridor at the Venda Nova South Zone, as well as the upcoming feasibility study for the project. Mark goes on to discuss the geology of the Iberian Pyrite Belt and planned subsequent drilling, before giving an expected timeline for releasing the feasibility study, receiving permitting, and kicking off construction at Lagoa Salgada.
