March 1, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) Virgin Metals Inc. has refocused. In September 2010, new management was installed and immediately proclaimed an ambitious program for 2011.

Its flagship Los Verdes project (copper-molybdenum-tungsten-silver) should get an updated review of the existing pre-feasibility study in 2011, and the Cuatro Hermanos project (copper-molybdenum) should be further explored in search of higher grade targets.
