[TV: Terrace, I, 111–112] See : Wild West vein at their San Jose gold-silver project located in the State of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. A recent news release reported the sampling results of the cross-cut from the Trinidad shaft to the hanging wall of the Bonanza vein (14.5 meters true width grading 6.52 gpt gold and 482 gpt silver; see news release dated January 18, 2005) on the new Level 6, situated at a depth of approximately 150 meters below the surface.

These 20 channel samples along the Bonanza vein yielded an average true thickness of 2.26 meters with an average grade of 10.2 gpt gold and 1,102 gpt silver. Individual chip channel results from north to south are presented in Table 1.

Historical mining took place to a maximum depth of approximately 130 meters below surface. However, the results of Continuum's recent surface drilling and the sampling of new underground tunnels have shown that the Trinidad Zone mineralization continues to depth and along strike from the limits of historical mining. The vein system outcrops continuously for 3 kilometers on Continuum's property. The potential for additional, bonanza-grade zones of mineralization along the remaining strike extent of the epithermal vein system on Continuum's ground is supported by: - the presence of additional, historically-producing shallow underground mining operations and; - Highly-anomalous surface gold and silver geochemistry geochemistry, study of the chemical changes on the earth. More specifically, it is the study of the absolute and relative abundances of chemical elements in the minerals, soils, ores, rocks, water, and atmosphere of the earth and the distribution and movement of . Once all assays have been returned from the 15 hole surface drilling program, and assay results from the ongoing underground sampling of the new Level 6 tunnels have been returned and compiled, the Company plans to contract a consulting engineering firm to undertake a preliminary resource calculation for the Trinidad Zone. Meanwhile, additional exploratory drilling along the largely untested strike extension of the vein system is planned. Continuum is aggressively exploring for epithermal deposits of gold and silver in the State of Oaxaca. In addition to San Jose, the Company is conducting underground rehabilitation rehabilitation: see physical therapy. at the nearby, historically-producing Natividad deposit in preparation for underground drilling.
