Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) has announced results from an exploration program ongoing at its 100%-owned Quinchia gold project.

Colombian doctors say a 104-year-old woman has beaten COVID-19 for a second time.

Dr. Yamit Noe Hurtado, Manager of San Rafael De Tunja University hospital, said doctors classified the case as re-infection after she first tested positive last June.
Despite her advanced age, Carmen did not require a bed in the intensive care unit to defeat the virus.
In June 2020 - the first time she was infected - she overcame the disease in the nursing home where she has lived for 25 years, according to medical staff.
