Initiatives for 2018

In 2018, we will focus on expanding the initial resource for El Dorado/ Juan Bran and Santa Cruz zones. Additionally, exploration drilling will be carried out at the Cinco Senores and Las Minillas zones to expand known areas of mineralization. Field work for the year will target the highly prospective Pueblo Nuevo and Changaro zones. We are confident our drilling programs will significantly expand the existing resource, outline additional mineralization in known mineralized zones, and lead to new discoveries at Las Minas.

Strategic Goals for 2018:

• Expand initial 43-101 mineral resource estimate.
• Complete an updated mineral resource estimate.
• Complete resource expansion drill programs at El Dorado/ Juan Bran and Santa Cruz zones.
• Complete exploration drilling program at Cinco Senores and Las Minillas zones.
• Complete field exploration and initial drilling at Pueblo Nuevo concession.
• Complete field exploration for extension to the Santa Cruz zone.
• Complete field exploration and geophysical survey at Changaro zone.
• Complete financing for funding of 2018 exploration program. 
• Complete final option payment for 100 % interest in Pepe, Pepe Tres and San Jose concessions.
• Increase market awareness and shareholder base with aggressive marketing and investor relations program.

About Las Minas

The Las Minas Project hosts near-surface gold – silver and copper skarn mineralization and high– grade gold – silver epithermal vein deposits. The project is comprised of six mineral concessions covering approximately 1,616 hectares (3,995 acres), with several small scale, past-producing mines and a number of untested targets.

The district is host to a large gold, silver and copper skarn system that has a production history that extends back to the Aztec era. The Las Minas diorite intrusive measures approximately 10 kilometres in diameter and underlies the Las Minas concessions. The mineralization controls and association with magnetite appear to be similar to the Guerrero Gold belt, which is the site of the Los Filos and Morelos gold deposits.
