Technical advisor Ken Balleweg, P. Geo, who managed the discovery and ore control of the high-grade Escondida zone states: The style of mineralization in LVRC012, particularly the coarse vuggy nature with crystalline quartz, octahedral pyrite, and tetrahedrite, strongly resembles that of the Escondida high-grade deposit, which was distinctly different from the main Mulatos style of mineralization. As this style of mineralization is unique and was both within and proximal to the high-grade deposit, the intercept of similar alteration in a previously undrilled area is significant and warrants additional step-out holes.
