Ich hab mir endlich mal die Zeit genommen und einen alten bekannten von meiner Watchlist
näher angeschaut.
Es handelt sich um Oremex einen Silber Explorer in Mexiko.
Die Firma konnte schon eine Ressource von ca.50 Mio Unzen Silver Equiv Ounces
definieren die (NI) 43-101 konform ist.
Das mach eine Bewertung von 0,40 EUR Bewerung pro Unze!! Glaub eine niedrigere Bewertung
gibts nicht! Die Marktkapitalisierung beträgt ca 20 Mio EUR. Denke nach unten dürfte
der Wert auf Grund der Ressourcen gut abgesichert sein.
Bohrprogramm zur Ausweitung der Ressourcen wurde gestartet. eine preliminary
assessment study ist in Arbeit. Denke Oremex könnte auch als Übernahmekandidat
in betracht kommen.
Negativ ist die sehr schlechte PR was aber durch neue Mitarbeiter verbessert werden dürfte.
Management schätze ich eher als mittelmässig ein.
Denke alles in allen überwiegen die Chancen! Die 20 Mio EUR Bewertung ist schon sehr gering.
Denke hier kann man sich mal ein paar Stücke zulegen.

2.2.2Entwicklungsstatus
The recent (2005) San Lucas 19-hole drill program has outlined a disseminated silver-gold mineralized system with associated lead and zinc. The zone has been traced along a strike length over 1700 meters by mapping and drilling. A total of 3,042 metres of reverse circulation drilling has been completed on 100-metre step-outs along the trend of mineralization.
Highlights include 4 metres (13 feet) of 9.26 gpt gold and 233 gpt silver in drill hole #3, and 6 metres (20 feet) of 203 gpt silver in drill hole #4.
This drilling defined a 800-900 metre strike length of better grade mineralization in a volcanic sequence of andesite and rhyolite. Drilling and mapping elsewhere indicates that a carbonate (limestone) unit is projected to intersect the better mineralized zone 100 metres below the present drilling This will be tested in the next phase of drilling to evaluate the potential for replacement-type mineralization, and the expansion of the presently known zones.

Oremex Announces Excellent Silver Recoveries
VANCOUVER, B.C. (May 25, 2006) - Oremex Resources Inc. (TSXV symbol - ORM) (the "Company"). The small column leaching tests conducted by McClelland Labs in Sparks, Nevada, have been completed, with excellent silver extraction results. The average silver extraction for the two columns was 78.0%. These results were obtained after 106 days of leaching for one of the columns and 162 days of leaching for the other column.
When the columns were shut down, silver was still being extracted. Consequently, it is expected that silver will still be extracted by leaching the material longer during a large scale, commercial cyanidation operation.
The next phase of our metallurgical program will involve collecting samples of the drill core from the upcoming diamond drilling program for additional column testing. These tests will more closely represent the actual processing of mined ore by using rock considered "fresh". We will be able to determine the extraction from coarser material - approximately 2 cm ( ¾ of an inch), compared with the first two columns which utilized samples collected from our percussion drilling and were relatively fine (minus 0.6 cm, or about ¼ inch). The material for testing will be collected from drill holes in the identified ore zones and composited to reflect what might occur during the actual mining process.
The silver extraction percentages were significantly higher than those from the small scale bottle roll tests, and this is attributed to the longer leach times in the small column tests. While there were no indications of metallurgical problems in the bottle roll testing, due to the small column and the 'forced' leaching environment from the small columns, the final reagent consumption was higher than anticipated. We fully expect the reagent consumption data generated in the bottle roll testing to be more representative of what to expect in actual plant practice, but this is an area we will be examining closely in the next series of testing.

Completion Of CDN $7,000,000 Private Placement Financing
Vancouver, B.C. (May 19, 2006) - Oremex Resources Inc. (TSXV symbol -- ORM) (the "Company") announces the closing of a non-brokered private placement, as disclosed in a news release issued on April 26, 2006. The Company closed on the sale of 9,333,333 units (the "Units") at $0.75 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $7,000,000.
Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one transferable warrant (a "Warrant"), each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share (a "Share") for 18 months at $0.95 per share, subject to an acceleration provision such that if, at any time following four months after the closing of the financing, the closing price per share on the TSX Venture Exchange is CDN$2.00 or higher for twenty (20) consecutive business days, then the Company may give the investors notice that the warrants must be exercised or they will expire within 30 days of such notice. All securities are subject to a four month hold period.
The Company paid cash finder's fees equal to 8% of the sale price of the Units with respect to the majority of the subscriptions.
A significant portion of net proceeds, after payment of cash finder's fees and offering expenses, will be used to fund in-fill and expansion reverse circulation and diamond drilling, related development work, and a preliminary assessment study on the Tejamen property. The balance of the net proceeds will also be used to fund exploration on the Company's other six mineral properties, property acquisitions, and for general working capital purposes.

Oremex Drilling Increases Tejamen Silver Resource To 50 Million Ounces TSX V: ORM
Oremex Resources is pleased to announce that additional drilling in 2005 has resulted in an increase of twenty-five percent (25%) in the silver resource in its Tejamen deposit located in the State of Durango, Mexico.
Wardrop Engineering Inc. has just completed a Technical Report in the format set out in National Instrument (NI) 43-101, and the inferred mineral resources (at a cut-off grade of 20 grams of silver per tonne) are summarized in the following table:
Tonnes Of Grams/Tonne Grams/Tonne Grams/Tonne Silver Equiv1.
Resource Silver Gold Silver Equiv. Ounces
Uncapped:22.6 million 66.9 0.05 69.8 50.8million
Capped: 22.3 million 65.4 0.03 67.2 48.2million
As a result of the foregoing, and the recent excellent results from metallurgical testing as reported in a News Release dated March 21, 2006, an independent mining consulting firm will be retained to commence a preliminary economic assessment of the Tejamen project as an open-pit heap-leach operation.
In the near future, Oremex also plans to recommence drilling with a view to adding to the resource (which is open in several directions), providing in-fill holes where appropriate, and subsequently preparing a feasibility study. To date, Oremex has drilled 217 rotary percussion reverse circulation drill holes for a total of 36,139 meters. The drilling was laid out on 50 metre lines with drill stations at every 30 metres.
It should be noted that the Tejamen property is just one of eight owned by Oremex in Mexico. Drilling on the San Lucas property by Oremex last year (19 reverse circulation 1 The Silver Equivalent (AgEq) is AgEq = Ag g/t * 64.56. Metallurgical recoveries were not considered. drill holes totaling about 3,000 meters) indicated a large disseminated zinc, lead, silver, and gold system. One of the other properties (La Parilla) was recently sold for cash and shares (which, at today's prices, would be valued at over $800,000). The other properties are being evaluated, and additional property acquisitions are expected.
Ross Glanville, P.Eng., M.B.A is the qualified person responsible for the contents of this News Release.

Oremex Announces Further Excellent Silver Recovery Results From Its Tejamen Project
Oremex Resources Inc. is a Vancouver, Canada -- based resource company which holds the right to acquire a 100% interest in numerous mineral properties located in Mexico.
The Company is pleased to announce additional results are available from the column metallurgical testing underway at McClelland Labs in Sparks, Nevada. This is a continuation of the bottle roll testing completed last year (reported on September 20, 2005) on samples from the Company's Tejamen silver project in the State of Durango, Mexico. The selected samples represent a composite of test material along with a sample of one of the higher-grade drill holes.
The high-grade sample indicates 72% extraction after 130 days of leaching. The composite sample indicates 63% extraction rate after 86 days of leaching. Extraction rates for both test columns demonstrate the same leaching rate over comparable time periods. Silver extraction is continuing for both columns.
The Company is extremely pleased with these results and the testing indicates the material is amenable to normal processing using conventional cyanidation and heap leaching technology. The reagent consumption is normal and there is no indication of any deleterious compounds in the ore material.
The next phase of testing will be to collect larger samples of "fresh" material. This will be done via a diamond drilling program or through access to underground areas where newly mined material can be obtained.

The Company also announced that 765,000 existing stock options held by certain directors, officers and employees that were previously granted at prices ranging from $0.80 to $1.02 per share, have been re-priced at $0.52 per share. The decision to re-price the affected options to more closely reflect the current market price of the shares of the Company was made after significant reductions in management compensation agreements were implemented by the board of directors. Re-pricing of the options is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and disinterested shareholder approval at the next general meeting of the shareholders of the Company. None of the re-priced options may be exercised until these conditions have been satisfied. In addition, the re-priced options are subject to a four month hold period from November 16, 2005.
On February 1, 2005, an NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation report for the Tejamen property was prepared by N. Tribe and Associates Ltd. (the "Tribe Report"), which is available on SEDAR. The Company is in the process of having the Tribe Report updated to incorporate the results from an additional 51 holes from the 2005 drilling program and anticipates completing this report by December, 2005. To date, over 215 holes have been drilled in two zones, the Cerro Prieto and the Los Mantos zones. In addition, metallurgical work is ongoing and these results will be made available in early January, 2006. The metallurgical results and the updated Tribe Report will be incorporated into a subsequent Preliminary Economic Assessment (Scoping Study) which should be completed by the end of March, 2006.

Oremex Continues To Receive High Grade Silver Assays From Its Tejamen Silver Property Vancouver, B.C. -- October 4, 2005: Oremex's drill program at its Tejamen Silver Property, near Durango, Mexico, continues to expand the Cerro Prieto and Los Mantos zones. Recent results from twenty-one holes drilled in the Los Mantos zone extended the mineralized area approximately 200 meters to the north. Eighteen of the holes were mineralized, with four of the eighteen holes intercepting high grade mineralization, as set out in the following table:
To date forty-one holes have been completed in the Cerro Prieto zone and one hundred and seventy-six holes have been completed in the Los Mantos zone, with the most recent holes being a combination of in-fill and expansion drilling. The primary purpose of the current drill program was to test the extent of the silver mineralization, which still remains open in several directions. Also, drilling in the Los Mantos zone was generally to a depth of approximately 200 meters, with many of the holes terminating in mineralization, thus indicating the potential for additional resources at depth.
Results from all 217 holes will be incorporated in an updated NI 43-101 report that previously reported a 40-million ounce silver-equivalent resource based on 166 holes. This report is expected to be available in 60 days. In addition, metallurgical work is ongoing, and the results will be incorporated in a subsequent Preliminary Economic Assessment (Scoping Study).
A new drill hole location plan incorporating the recent drill holes will be posted shortly on Oremex's web site at www.oremex.com.

Oremex Receives Excellent Silver Recovery Results
Vancouver, B.C. - September 20th, 2005: Oremex Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that it has received excellent preliminary metallurgical silver recovery results from the bottle roll leach test program (conducted by McClelland Laboratories, Inc., located in Sparks, Nevada) on its 40 million ounce Tejamen silver property. The leaching program was comprised of bottle roll leaching tests on drill cuttings collected from the approximate 30,000 meter percussion drill program. The samples selected represent the broad range of material in the deposit, covering the low-grade material as well as the high-grade material in both zones (Cerro Prieto and Los Mantos) of the Tejamen property. Each sample was tested in an "as received" state and then ground to 80% minus 75 microns (200 mesh) for additional testing. Silver extraction averaged about 60% for all twelve tests (six "as received" and six "minus 75 microns"). This recovery is considered to be very good (see next paragraphs) for the short time frame (only 4 days) utilized for bottle roll testing.
Mr. Jack McPartland, Metallurgist and Vice President Operations for McClelland Laboratories, Inc., commented on the results of the Oremex test program:
"Silver recovery rates by cyanidation are typically substantially slower than gold recovery rates. Consequently, in general, short term (1 to 4 day) bottle roll test silver recoveries are often substantially lower than obtained during longer term (60 day +) column leach testing of the same samples, at the same feed size. Because of differences in leach cycle duration, ultimate commercial heap leach silver recoveries often are somewhat higher than column test silver recoveries (leached under the same conditions - feed size, cyanide concentration, etc.) on the same ore. Silver recovery rate data from the bottle rolls conducted on the Tejamen cuttings samples show that silver extraction was progressing at a slow, but significant rate, when leaching was terminated after 4 days of leaching. These results indicate that silver recovery will improve with a longer leaching cycle."
Based on the foregoing, and experience at actual silver heap leach operations, a full scale heap leach operation at Tejamen might expect silver recoveries in the range of 65% to 75% (based on three to nine months of leaching). As a result of the excellent preliminary tests, Oremex plans to commence column leach tests, which will be conducted over 60 days, as opposed to the short-term (4 days) bottle roll tests.

Oremex Acquires Two New Exploration Projects
Vancouver, B.C. July 4, 2005: The Company has acquired via staking a 1,500 hectare claim (Maco) in the municipality of El Fuerte, Sinaloa, Mexico. Management believes this area is prospective for a copper/gold porphyry deposit, since copper staining is visible in outcrop over an extensive area. This new claim has seen limited exploration but a first stage program will begin in the near future.
The second exploration property was acquired via a lottery in the municipality of Santa Ana, Sonora, Mexico. The claim (Navidad) consists of 85 hectares. Management believes the area is prospective for gold, since the area adjacent claim has received extensive drilling outlining a potential gold deposit. A work program for Navidad will commence, once all surrounding area data has been analyzed.
Oremex continues to expand its presence in Mexico, and now has eight properties including the 40 million oz Tejamen Silver Resource and the San Lucas project results of which were announced in our news release dated June 21, 2005.

San Lucas Drilling Project Provides A New Discovery For Oremex
Vancouver, B.C. June 21, 2005: Oremex is drilling two of its five projects in the State of Durango, Mexico. The San Lucas project is at an early exploration stage and is being evaluated concurrently with the Company's other project, the Tejamen, which has a 40 million ounce silver resource defined by the N. Tribe, P.Eng., in his February 1, 2005, report entitled "Mineral Resource Evaluation Report on the Tejamen Silver Property". (NI 43-101 compliant).
Oremex is pleased to announce the initial results of a 19-hole drill program on its San Lucas Project. Geological mapping and drilling has outlined a disseminated silver-gold mineralized system with associated lead and zinc. The zone has been traced along a strike length over 1700 meters by mapping and drilling. A total of 3,042 metres of reverse circulation drilling has been completed on 100-metre step-outs along the trend of mineralization.
Highlights include 4 metres (13 feet) of 9.26 gpt gold and 233 gpt silver in drill hole #3, and 6 metres (20 feet) of 203 gpt silver in drill hole #4.
Seventeen of the 19 holes intersected the mineralization with some of the better intercepts as follows (the assays and map of all drill-holes are available on the Oremex website):

Oremex Reports Equivalent Silver Resource of 40.3 Million Ounces
AN INDEPENDENT RESOURCE STUDY has concluded that an equivalent silver resource of 40.3 million ounces is contained in a total of 10,190,000 tonnes, grading a silver equivalent of 123.47 g/t (3.97ounces) on OREMEX'S TEJAMEN SILVER PROPERTY, STATE OF DURANGO, MEXICO.
Vancouver, Canada, March 8, 2005: Oremex Resources Inc. has received the results of an independent Resource Evaluation Report (the "Report") on its Tejamen Silver Property in compliance with National Instrument 43-101. The Tejamen Silver Property, consisting of 21 claims covering about 1,672 hectares is situated in the municipality of Nuevo Ideal, State of Durango, Mexico. (www.oremex.com).
The Report, written by Norman L. Tribe, P.Eng., of N. Tribe and Associates Ltd., covers two areas of mineralization, the Cerro Prieto and the Los Mantos (previously El Manto). It states "Total tonnage for the Tejamen deposits is 10,190,000 tonnes at a grade of 119 grams per tonne of silver (3.82 ounces/tonne) with 0.07 grams per tonne of gold. (0.0024 ounces/tonne). Contained ounces for the deposits are calculated at this time to be 38,915,000 ounces of silver and 24,127 ounces of gold."
This is equivalent to a resource of 40,320,000 ounces of silver at a grade of 123.47 grams/tonne or 3.97 ounces/tonne. (A 60:1 silver/gold ratio was used for the silver equivalent). A cutoff grade of $6.00US/tonne combined silver and gold was used to arrive at an estimate of the resource in these two deposits. The silver price used was $6.80US/ounce and the gold price used was $425US/ounce. No recovery factor is applied to these numbers as insufficient information is available on recovery parameters at this time. Metallurgical variables will be determined in the next phase when metallurgical testing is done.
The resource estimate contained in the Tribe report derives from the study of a 166 reverse circulation drill program, which commenced in December 2003 through December 15, 2004, totaling 26,500 meters of drilling on sections 50 meters apart with drill holes 30 meters apart along sections on the Cerro Prieto and Los Mantos zones. The holes were drilled at 60 degrees to the south, to a nominal drill depth of 200 meters, on the Cerro Prieto; and, vertically on the Los Mantos to a nominal depth of 150 meters.
Tribe suggests that there is a system of flat faulting, parallel to the bedding and dipping 15 degrees to 25 degrees S., present in the host rocks of both the Cerro Prieto and Los Mantos. Much of the mineralization is associated with these flat faults. The feeder vein at Cerro Prieto is strong and crops out into the hill that spawned the name. Most of the values in the Cerro Prieto deposit are close to this feeder vein structure. This feeder shear vein forms a distinctive sigmoidal loop. Other loop structures appear as Jeronimo and Carnival feeders between the Los Mantos and the Cerro Prieto Zones.
The Los Mantos area has similar mineralization and structure as the Cerro Prieto. There is a sigmoidal loop passing through the main part of the deposit marked by the Guanajuato and Morelos feeder veins and at least five low angle mineralized thrust faults which host much of the mineralization. The solutions traveling upward along the feeder encountered several of these N40°E flat, 20 to 40°E structures and mineralization has spread laterally parallel to the faulting and the bedding in the host, Lower Volcanic Complex .
Mineralization consists of galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and minor chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and argentite in a gangue of quartz and clay minerals. Native silver and free gold are reported to occur in the strongly oxidized areas. This flat faulting may be more pervasive than previously thought, with a number of imbricated structures providing favorable environment at several layers in the volcanic pile, in the Cerro Prieto deposit, the Los Mantos deposit and in the surrounding area."
The proximity of an open pit mining operation, to the village of Tejamen is being addressed and may at some point require the relocation of the village residents. Informal meetings with the senior village representatives and the Company are being held on a regular basis in order to maintain a dialogue, with positive results.
The Report summarizes that "the mineralization is not completely defined and that more potential exists between the two zones, at depth, along strike in both directions and possibly on other structures to the southeast." As well,"the mineralization is related to steep feeder veins with mineralization spreading out horizontally along shallow thrust faults, or 'mantos'." Mr. Tribe states that there are numerous 'mantos', therefore the change of the name of the El Manto zone (singular) to the Los Mantos area (plural).
The Report concluded that further work is justified and recommends a program of 22,090 meters of drilling in 135 drill holes; metallurgical work to ascertain the recovery parameters; fill-in drilling and exploration drilling to define the limits of the mineralization.
Oremex is now proceeding with the recommended drill program on the Cerro Prieto and Los Mantos zones, to further define the parameters of the known resource.
A copy of the "Report" will be filed on Sedar in the near future.

Management reports that exploration activities completed in 2004 resulted in 166 reverse circulation holes being drilled (approximately 27,333 metres), which outlined the presence of a potentially large silver resource contained within the Cerro Prieto and El Manto Zones at the Tejamen Silver Property, Durango, Mexico.
The past year's exploration work was focused on delineating the extent of mineralization within these two zones with sufficient information to permit a resource study to be undertaken. The Tejamen exploration program for 2005 will include the North and North-East extensions of the Cerro Prieto zone and the Southwest extension of the El Manto zone. The Cerro Prieto zone and the El Manto zone are still open for additional drilling and other areas of potential interest are currently being evaluated.
RESOURCE STUDY - With more than 27,000 metres of drilling completed at the Tejamen project by Oremex, plus 40 holes drilled by previous owners, the Company has commissioned a mineral Resource Study for the El Manto and Cerro Prieto zones at Tejamen. This study will be conducted by Mr. Norm Tribe of N.B. Tribe & Associates. Mr. Tribe has completed his site visit to the property and the Company expects to receive his Study by the beginning of March 2005.
SAN LUCAS - Oremex further announces that a first phase 20 hole reverse circulation drilling program has commenced on its San Lucas property located 80 km north of the city of Durango. The San Lucas property, one of Oremex's six 100% owned Mexican Properties, contains a 2 km long northeast-trending zone of alteration and mineralization. (the mineralized zone varies from 50 metres to over 100 metres in width). Two parallel northeast-trending silver and gold bearing veins, about 30 metres to 50 metres apart extend over the entire 2 kilometres, and share similar surface characteristics to those seen at Tejamen. For further detailed information on the San Lucas property, we refer you to our previous news release dated December 13, 2004, which can be viewed on our website, www.oremex.com
CHIEF GEOLOGIST APPOINTED - The Company has entered into a consulting agreement, effective today, with Mr. Gordon Richards, P.Eng., to provide geological consulting services at a rate of $500 per day, subject to regulatory approval.

Recent Acquisitions To Oremex's Second Property, The San Lucas Silver Property In Durango, Mexico, Is Now Being Prepared For Drilling
Vancouver, B.C. December 13, 2004: The San Lucas property, one of Oremex's six 100%-owned Mexican Properties is located 80 km north of the city of Durango. The property contains a 2 km long northeast-trending zone of alteration and mineralization. The mineralized zone varies from 50 metres to over 100 metres in width. Two parallel northeast-trending silver and gold bearing veins, about 30 metres to 50 metres apart extend over the entire 2 kilometres.
Additional claims along the structure have now been acquired, at a minimal cost to Oremex, entitling the company to 100% ownership and no underlying royalties. The Veta Grande claim was worked at the end of the 19th century and was equipped with a small concentrator. Mining activity was suspended as a result of the Mexican revolution in 1910. It is reported that in the 1980s small shipments were made from the Veta Grande, Noche Buena and El Refugio claims, which are all now part of Oremex's San Lucas property.
The claim known as Noche Buena was previously sampled by Luismin and Echo Bay. Surface sampling of the veins and wall rocks by Luismin returned values of 1.35 g/t Au and 73 g/t Ag over 1.5 metres to 15 g/t Au and 51 g/t Ag over 0.7 metres. An underground sample by Luismin assayed 256 g/t Au and 391 g/t Ag over 0.75 metres. Vuggy quartz stockwork found between the two major quartz veins was sampled by Echo Bay and Oremex. Oremex's rock chip sampling returned weighted averages of 0.87g/t Au and 40g/t Ag over 30 metres, while Echo Bay's sampling returned values of 0.88 g/t Au and 31.4 g/t Ag also over 30 metres.
Dr. Peter Christopher Ormex's independent geological consultant recently collected a 10 metre chip sample near the Noche Buena shaft which assayed 71.9 g/t Ag and 2.49 g/t Au. Additional samples collected by Dr. Christopher from the newly acquired Mina & Paco claims of the San Lucas property are as follows:
------------------------------------------------
Sample # Type Length (m) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
------------------------------------------------
178666 Chip 4.0 (13 feet) 1.16 125
178667 Chip 11.0 (36 feet) 0.45 91
178668 Chip 10.0 (33 feet) 0.03 103
178669 Chip 13.0 (43 feet) 0.07 122
178671 Chip 4.8 (16 feet) 0.34 251
------------------------------------------------
Historically, the San Lucas property had been explored by two small past producing mines, but has never been drilled. Oremex plans a 20-hole drill program commencing approximately January 15, 2005 and will test a large portion of the 2 kilometre long structure.

Oremex Reports Exceptional High Grade Intercepts which Continue to Expand the Tejamen El Manto Zone, Durango, Mexico and Oremex Appoints New Director
Vancouver, B.C. November 23, 2004: Oremex Resources Inc. announces assays from eleven (11) additional drill holes that were recently completed are listed below, and the results continue to expand the El Manto zone to the SE on section lines 150 north, 200 north and 250 north and to the south on section line 50 south. A number of holes were drilled to a depth of 200 metres or more to intersect a deeper mineralized structure reported in previous historic drilling. Drill assays confirmed the presence of this mineralized structure as demonstrated by holes #142 and #149 below.
Spectacular results have been received from drill holes #141 and #142 on section line 250 north. Assay results for hole #141 demonstrate 36 ounces per tonne over 92 feet (from 80 metres to 108 metres), including 76 ounces per tonne over 39 feet (this high assay is equivalent to 1.3 ounces per tonne gold over 39 feet at present gold/silver prices).
Most importantly, hole #142 on the same section line, located approximately 100 feet to the east, intersected the same high grade zone (39 feet at 11opt.). In addition, hole #142 also intersected significant gold values from 154 metres to 172 metres averaging 1.92 grams over 18 metres ( 59 feet ).
Assays from all holes are provided in the table below:
o date, a total of 144 holes (23,799 metres) have been drilled and assayed on the Cerro Prieto and the El Manto zone. Drill hole locations can be viewed on our website map at www.oremex.com
