James McDonald, President and CEO, states “We are very pleased the first ever drill program conducted on Copalito has shown excellent grade potential and continuity of vein structures. This indicates the potential for discovery and delineation of high-grade resources is good.”
.
Luis Moya, Chief Geologist, comments “After receiving the geochemical analyses of the last 7 of 40 holes it can be concluded the drilling campaign ended successfully. The last holes establish continuity to depth and along strike with high grade potential exhibiting values of up to 16.95 gpt gold and 846 gpt silver.”

Drilling Discussion
The drill program tested 4,153 meters along a classic Mexican epithermal vein system. A follow up drill program will now be designed, the details of which will be released once complete. The follow up program will be guided by detailed structural mapping and possibly geophysics.

Sampling and QA/QC
All technical information for the Copalito exploration program is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) program. Samples are taken from core cut in half with a diamond saw under the direction of qualified geologists and engineers. Samples are then labeled, placed in plastic bags, sealed and with interval and sample numbers recorded. Samples are delivered by the Company to ALS Minerals (“ALS”) in Hermosillo, Sonora. The samples are dried, crushed and pulverized with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis by ALS in North Vancouver, B.C. Systematic assaying of standards, blanks and duplicates is performed for precision and accuracy. Analysis for silver, zinc, lead and copper and related trace elements was done by ICP four acid digestion, with gold analysis by 30-gram fire assay with an AA finish. All drilling reported is HQ core and has been contracted to Globexplore Drilling from Hermosillo, Mexico.
