El Cobre

Mexico Map

The El Cobre property is located in Sonora approximately 100km SE of Hermosillo. The concession is 777 hectares and contains a number of small historic mine workings generally referred to as the San Juan mining area. The property consists of sedimentary and volcanic rocks with small intrusions in the form of dykes.

In the San Juan mine area there are showings of chalcopyrite and pyrite as well as the oxides of these minerals. Chip samples near the mine assayed up to 1.4 g/t gold along with 50 g/t silver and 0.60% copper. A sample of the dump material from the old mine workings assayed 7.7 g/t gold, 97 g/t silver and 5.9% copper. Chip samples from the Yaqui mine area assayed up to 5.3 g/t Au and 0.4% Cu. Samples in the Cierro Prieto area assayed up to 1.3 g/t gold and 5% copper.

The property warrants a more detailed regional investigation to determine whether it is possible for the mapped breccias/intrusions to be of large size or limited to small "vein style" systems. 

Alamos (La Campana)

The Alamos project is 300 Ha in size and located NW of Caborca in Sonora, north of significant mineralized structures being mined/explored currently by others. The property hosts the historic La Campana mine containing a series of underground adits that produced gold in the 1930's and 1940's and was one of the higher grade gold operations in Mexico during its lifetime.

The area appears to contain an intrusive body (granodiorite) surrounded by series of quartz veins. Pyrite is visible throughout the property.

The Alamos property clearly demonstrates significant potential for gold exploration and as s result of the Company's preliminary observations, plans are now underway to map the entire area as well as the accessible adits from the old mine.
