Sonora Resources is concentrating on the development of prospective Silver opportunities in Mexico. Mexico is the worlds second largest silver producer after Peru. Company President and Chief Executive Officer Juan Miguel Rios Gutierrez is a seasoned geologist who resides in Mexico. He previously helped build First Majestic Silver Corporation from a junior mining exploration company on the TSXV to a major global silver producer (7.5m oz Ag in 2011).
First Majestic Silver Corp (FMSC) originally acquired the Jalisco prospect claims. They were acquired by Sonora via an Option Agreement. This was as a package within the Minera El Pilon properties. Sonora Resources believes the property shows the potential to become an important producing mine for the area and the Company.
The Los Amoles Property is 10 kilometers northeast of the producing La Caridad mine, operated by Grupo Mexico, which is one of the largest mining and processing complexes in Mexico. Sonora Resources has confirmed the high-grade potential for the project.
Highlight samples include 2.0 meters grading 0.63 g/t gold and 698.6 g/t silver, 6.0 meters averaging 0.33 g/t gold and 226.6 g/t silver (including 2.0 meters grading 0.63 g/t gold and 497.3 g/t silver), 1.0 meters grading 0.33 g/t gold and 496.8 g/t silver and dump material grading 0.24 g/t gold and 1,027.5 g/t silver.
