CEO Comment
Daniel Rodriguez, CEO & Director, commented:
"We are now about to enter the second half of the drill program. Most of the focus to date has been on 5 Señores and we will now shift to El Agua and then to El Pilar and other areas of the property. The goal has been to expand on the known and go test some of the unknown. We are happy with the progress to date, and the team is executing on all levels. I am looking forward to getting the first round of results out to the market, once we have analyzed and interpreted them. We see potential to expand on known areas and new areas of interest as the team continues to uncover more through prospecting and sampling."
Drilling Update
Drilling has comprehensively tested along the strike of the 5 Señores vein, infilling in areas where the Company sees evidence for better thickness and grade and some aggressive tests to depth. The drill is now testing the El Agua vein with the same goals of testing along strike, infilling in key areas and some aggressive tests to depth.
Drill targeting has been refined with 2 holes planned at the north junction of the Chente and Cobriza vein systems and the SE extension of 5 Señores — an approximately potential 250m strike length segment that has never been drill tested before.

Exploration Update
Preliminary soil data results have been received, which indicate a positive correlation between anomalous silver, lead, zinc, gold (Goldkurs) and arsenic values in newly sampled areas and at known vein occurrences. Given this positive correlation, the Company has decided to expand the soil sampling program with a combination of infill detail samples and expansion of the sampling area.
The mapping and sampling program continues exploring new areas of the project as well as detailed work defining drill targets on previously undrilled vein segments that the Company may drill test later in the current program.
