 - Wide gold-copper intercept of 340.25 metres grading 0.46 g/t gold and 0.14% copper. Confirming size and grade of mineralization encountered by previous development drilling at Cerro Vetas. The intercept is nested within a broader zone of mineralization, grading 0.34 g/t gold and 0.11% copper over 583 metres beginning from surface. - A second significant mineralized interval was encountered beginning at 823.40 metres downhole depth. This mineralization occurs approximately 200 vertical metres deeper than the current resource at Cerro Vetas. The gold mineralizing system appears to maintain its strength at depth, with assays of 0.49 g/t gold and 0.05% copper over 24.2 metres - consistent with gold grades observed in shallower mineralized intercepts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Orient- ation Au Drill (incli- Total (g/t) Cu % hole nation/ Depth Length wt. wt.
