What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
Within the last two years, Torq Resources assembled a team in Chile, leveraged their connections to acquire a portfolio of projects in some of the most prolific mining belts in the country, made a new discovery at the Margarita project, extended that discovery and acquired social access for its other project, Santa Cecilia, which it will be drilling next. Santa Cecilia has historical discoveries on the property that have not been touched in decades and Torq is the first junior exploration company that has gained access to explore it. Both the management team in Vancouver and the team on the ground in Chile have been part of monetizing exploration discoveries in the past. Torq’s management team has also demonstrated strength in raising capital, even in challenging markets.
