Eight holes (PSLC-01, 02, 03, 04, 07, 08, 09 and 11) were drilled into the Sta. Rosa East skarn zone, which consists of prograde grossularite calc-silicate-chalcopyrite, and two retrograde stages of mineralization, an early quartz-chalcopyrite-sphalerite stage and a later stage of quartz-calcite-tetrahedrite-sphalerite mineralization. The new skarn zone has been explored at 50 meter centers for a distance of 250 meters to a maximum depth of 120 meters, where it is an E-W striking steeply dipping (80° - 85° to the south) tabular zone which is widest (12-22 meters) between holes PSLC-1 to PSLC-04. To the east the skarn zone splits into various narrower mineralized zones.

A district zoning pattern is apparent in that the wider Sta. Rosa East skarn zone which hosts more abundant early copper-rich mineralization than at the Sta. Rosa mine, 500 meters to the west, which hosts predominantely the later higher silver tetrahedrite style of mineralization.

The principal exploration strategy for a second phase of drilling is to follow laterally to the west and downwards the mineralized skarn body (see links to Figures 1 & 2 posted in the company website). The calc-silicate zone, explored at relatively shallow depths (<150m), is located within hornfels formed by recrystallizing shale and sandstone of the Jurassic Casita formation. Cretaceous Aurora massive limestones are postulated to occur at greater depth under a mapped thrust fault on the property, and present an exploration target for more pervasive and larger development of skarn mineralization.

The Company will also pursue the Santa Rosa style silver potential by drilling at the intersection of the E-W Sta. Rosa East skarn zone, and the NW-SE striking Sta. Rosa vein (see Figures 1 & 2 posted in the company website), and in the western part of the property where a field of jasperoid veins has potential to host additional silver-rich Sta. Rosa style veins.

The drilling and sampling program was supervised by Martin Soto Moran and Lino Larraga Rodriguez both professional geologists with over 20 years of exploration experience in Mexico. Samples were assayed by certified laboratory ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, and follow QA/QC procedures which include the inclusion of blanks, duplicates and standards for all metals reported.
