Mineralization

• San Lucas hosts zones of silicification with minor pyrite, associated with the gold mineralization
• Vein zones generally occur in Eocene Lower Volcanic Complex rocks (LVC) that are windows in rhyolitic rocks of the Upper Volcanic Complex
• A 4km long, northeast-trending zone of alteration, brecciation, veining, shattering and mineralization transects San Lucas along the Main Shear Zone.
• The Main Shear Zone and its alteration halo measures up to 100 metres wide over its length
• Higher-grade mineralization includes an underground sample by Luismin that assayed 256 g/t Au over 0.55 metres
• Current drilling results indicate the best grades occurring over the northerly 800 metres of the drilled portion of the Main Shear with results of up to 3.0 g/t Au and 48 g/t Ag over 11.5 metre true width
