These zones are designated Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4. These four zones cover a combined elevation elevation, vertical distance from a datum plane, usually mean sea level to a point above the earth. Often used synonymously with altitude, elevation is the height on the earth's surface and altitude, the height in space above the surface. between 1800 and 2250 m. and individual showings range between 10 and 25 m in length. Analyses performed by Barro Blanco S Blanco (meaning the color white in Spanish) is an adjective often used in Spanish surnames. Below is a list of famous people and places associated with the word. .A. (1997) indicated that the average grade of mineralized veins was 17.2254 g/tonne Au, with a maximum of 117.98 g/tonne, and that in the four zones, combined host rock and vein grades had an average of 0.536 g/tonne gold.

Chemically, it is silicon dioxide, SiO2. veins trending N70(degree)W and dipping 15(degree)-25(degree)NE, with average widths of 10cm, and up to 0.27 m. The veins are hosted by mainly by diorite diorite Medium- to coarse-grained igneous rock that commonly is composed of about two-thirds plagioclase feldspar and one-third dark-coloured minerals, such as hornblende or biotite. , with minor portions hosted by siltstones and quartzite quartzite, usually metamorphic rock composed of firmly cemented quartz grains. Most often it is white, light gray, yellowish, or light brown, but is sometimes colored blue, green, purple, or black by included minerals. . These veins contain quartz, limonite limonite (līm`ənīt) or brown hematite (hĕm`ətīt, hē`–), yellowish to dark brown mineral, a hydrated oxide of iron, FeO(OH)·nH2 (iron oxides The material used to coat the surfaces of magnetic tapes and lower-capacity disks. ), pyrite pyrite (pī`rīt) or iron pyrites (pīrī`tēz, pə–, pī`rīts), pale brass-yellow mineral, the bisulfide of iron, FeS2. and pyrrhotite pyrrhotite (pĭr`ətīt) or magnetic pyrites, bronze-yellow to bronze-red mineral, a sulfide of iron sometimes containing nickel. It tarnishes easily and is somewhat magnetic. . In la Montana showing the grade of longitudinal lon·gi·tu·di·nal adj.

Samples of vein material taken from showings in Zones 2, 3 and 4 returned grades of 72.87, 41.77, 34.37, 28.33, 28.10 and 24.40 g/tonne gold. Trench trench: see ocean. 1 trends S50(degree)E with a length of 40 m, a depth of 3 m and an elevation change of 30 m. The trench had a maximum depth of 3 m, a width of 0.80 m and a length of 30 m. Of 10 samples taken from Zone 1 Trench 1, mixed host rock and vein material, the best value is 4.199 g/tonne gold. Zone 1 Trench 2 has an orientation of S30(degree)E with a length of 26 m and a height (elevation change) of 24 m. The trench had a maximum depth of 3 m and a width of 0.80 m. The results of 5 samples from Trench 2 returned a maximum of 1.118g/tonne from mixed host rock and vein material.

Statements in this press release which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the results from the surface samples of the secondary portion of the Phase 1 program on the Golondrina property, any indication of high grade gold concentrations, the potential for higher grade ore in fresh rock from the trenching program, the potential and future gold values in the Golondrina project and the project proceeding to a drill ready stage. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainties associated with mineral exploration. We are not in control of metals prices and these could vary to make development uneconomic. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release, and we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
