At the Rio Frio Project, five diamond drill holes have been completed for a total of 300 metres of drilling on the Chezanco mine area and seven reverse circulation drill holes have been completed on the Cerro Colorado Target area for a total of 781 metres. At the La Poposa Project area, 17 reverse circulation drillholes have been completed for a total of 2,205 metres.

The Chezanco Mine area was previously known to consist of a shallow reserve (120 metres depth) of 300,000 ounces of gold occurring as veins and disseminations in highly altered volcanic rocks rocks which have been produced from the discharges of volcanic matter, as the various kinds of basalt, trachyte, scoria, obsidian, etc., whether compact, scoriaceous, or vitreous.

Drilling results at the La Poposa Project have outlined a widespread gold anomaly over 6 kilometres in length with gold values in several holes consisting of narrow intresections with values above 1 g/tonne and some larger intercepts averaging 0.3 to 0.6 g/tonne Au.

    The Company has been notified by WMC that they have elected to
continue the joint venture into the second year, with several
anomalous gold targets remaining to be explored on the Rio Frio
Project area as well as further detailed work being planned for
evaluation of possible bulk- tonnage, open-pit mineralization on the
La Poposa Project area.
