Mineralization Trends
Surface mapping, trenching and sampling indicate that the higher grade mineralization is associated with NNW trending sheeted veins as well as NE trending veinlets and fracture fillings. The drilling to date also confirms these trends but additional drilling is required to systematically test the NNW trend which hosts higher grade gold values in recent channel sampling from one trench which returned 3.18 g/t Au over 10 m, including 9.04 g/t Au over 2 m. This high grade gold mineralization may correlate with the intercept 150 m vertically below in hole TS-DH-02 with 1.9 g/t Au, 1.0 g/t Ag and 0.12 % Cu over 29.3 m (Figure 2).
The first three holes at Tesorito (TS-DH-01, TS-DH-02 and TS-DH-03) were oriented with azimuths from 310° to 320° (Figure 2) and designed to test the extensive gold and copper geochemical anomaly in soils and to crosscut the NNE trend of one of the larger mineralized intrusive porphyry bodies.

The geological structural setting between Miraflores and Tesorito suggest the potential for an extension of mineralization between the two deposits. Figure 1 highlights lithology, structures and the alignment of other artisanal mining areas which support a general interpretation of this mineralized corridor. Surface mapping also shows hydrothermal sericite-quartz alteration overprint along this trend.
