Discussion on Use of Proceeds

 

Proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance the Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland is currently in Mexico to initiate the next phase of exploration. The company will be evaluating surface mineralization with trenching and channel sampling followed by a series of column leach studies on representative sites across the Main Zone. In addition, drilling is planned with between 5,000 to 8,000 meters estimated between now and July of 2022. Drilling will focus on continued step-out drilling along the Main Zone and new 4-Trench Trend, following up on Phase II step-outs highlighted by JES-21-50 which intersected 39.7m at 0.96 g/t Au including 1.5m at 14.6 g/t Au. Exploration drilling will continue to evaluate target areas along the Triple Vein Zone. Surface exploration work will continue with trenching and sampling along the southeastern extension of the Main Zone.  

 

In December, an exploration program of surface mapping and sampling will be conducted at the El Picacho Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The program aims to advance key target areas towards trenching and ultimately drill targeting.

 

“We are now on the ground in Mexico with our exploration team and we are very much looking forward to this next phase of exploration.”, commented VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. “I will updating on our progress over the next few weeks as we begin trenching for detailed metallurgical analysis at our Main Zone and exploration of key target areas. At the same time, we look to rapidly move towards our next phase of drilling. Despite recent market volatility the Company’s exploration program will go forward as planned and I will be on site at Pilar to oversee the start.”

Three zones of mineralization have been identified in the north-west part of the property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4-Trench. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Over 22,700 m of drilling have been completed to date. Significant results are highlighted below:

 

• 2021 Phase II RC Drilling Highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses): 

  • 39.7m @ 0.96 g/t Au, including 1.5m @ 14.6 g/t Au  

  • 47.7m @ 0.75 g/t Au including 3m @ 5.6 g/t Au and 22 g/t Ag 

  • 29m @ 0.71g/t Au 

  • 35.1m @ 0.66 g/t Au 

• 2020 Phase I RC Drilling Highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses

  • 41.2m @ 1.1 g/t Au, including 3.1m @ 6.0g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag ; 

  • 24.4m @ 2.5 g/t Au and 73 g/t Ag, including 1.5m @ 33.4 g/t Au and 1,090 g/t Ag 

• 17,700m of Historic Core RC drilling. Highlights include: 

  • 61.0m @ 0.8 g/t Au 

  • 16.5m @ 53.5g/t Au and 53 g/t Ag  

  • 13.0m @ 9.6 g/t Au
