HIGHLIGHTS:

Espejo:

• Prospecting work and initial geological mapping completed
• Heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey (1560 lineKm) defines anomalies related to magnetic bodies, altered zones and structures
• 3410 samples collected to date
• Spectrometry work (Terraspec) defines alteration patterns typical of porphyry systems
• Three sizeable (more than 1 km²), high priority porphyry Cu-Mo (Au) targets defined
• Epithermal style Au-Ag mineralization locally associated to porphyries
• Several lower priority targets to be followed up
• Future work to focus on target areas: Detailed ground surveys and 3D magnetic modeling (underway), ground geophysics being planned, drilling targets to be defined
• Minimal work commitment over the first 4 years attained in less than 3 years

Rio Magdalena:

• Prospecting work and initial geological mapping completed
• Heliborne magnetic and radiometric survey (915 lineKm) defines anomalies related to magnetic bodies, structures, altered and mineralized zones
• 3801 samples collected to date
• Spectrometry work (Terraspec) defines alteration patterns typical of porphyry systems
• Two high priority, sizeable (more than 1 km²), porphyry Cu-Au (Mo) targets outlined
• Other lower priority targets to be followed up
• Future work to focus on target areas: Detailed surveys ongoing, ground geophysics being planned, drilling targets to be defined
• Minimal work commitment over the first 4 years attained in less than 3 years
