"With strong exploration results, a drill-ready portfolio, and the right people around the table, we're incredibly excited about what lies ahead, especially as we prepare to kick off drilling at Tahami South. This is a pivotal moment for Quimbaya, and we're just getting started."
Strategic Alignment and Validation
The participation of Mr. Iacono, who played a pivotal role in the revival of the Colombian gold sector, signals high conviction in Quimbaya's assets and leadership. His investment marks a strong endorsement of the Company's solid Portfolio and in particular its drill-ready Tahami Project in the Middle Cauca Belt, one of Colombia's most prolific gold districts.
"I believe Quimbaya is uniquely positioned at the intersection of geology, timing, and leadership. The team is aligned, the land is exceptional, and in this rising gold environment the moment is now," said Mr. Iacono. "I'm excited to support a company that understands what it takes to build a real gold story in Colombia."
