The results of the MAG survey will provide key information in planning an Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical survey.  The planned IP survey will cover most of the property and will follow up on positive results from previous limited sized IP surveys.  

 

Salvadora Copper – Gold Project Highlights

• - Potential to discover large bulk mineable copper – gold porphyries;

  - 15 km from world class billion tonne El Salvador copper – gold porphyry mine;

  - Geologically very similar to El Salvador mine including:

  • - Style of mineralization;

    - Alteration;

    - Favourable copper bearing rocks are similar age;

 

• - Project has not been fully and systematically explored leaving potential untapped;

  • - Limited geophysics and diamond drilling;

 

• - Drilling has returned encouraging copper – gold grades from porphyry style mineralization;

  • - 156 metres of 0.28% copper and 0.08 g/t gold

    - 35 metres of 0.28% copper and 0.11 g/t gold

  - Additional upside from five extensive epithermal vein systems;

  • - Outcrop and underground sampling returned:

    • - 5.1 - 154.5 g/t gold, 1.3 - 61.8 g/t silver and 0.16- 14.75% copper over 1.5–4.3 metres

    - Historically reported small scale, underground production to 240 metres:

    • - 4.5 – 195 g/t gold, 20 – 356 g/t silver and 1.4 – 23.6% copper over 0.5 -3.0 metres
