“Victory’s management and board are excited that initial metallurgical test work results are encouraging and we will report more definitive results shortly once the current initial phase of test work is completed. We are confident that Jeff’s experience, knowledge and systematic approach will unlock significant value at Iron Point,” added Matysek.
