Metallurgical tests done by Kappes Cassidy in Reno, NV, on material from Caupar indicate recoveries of 84% for gold and 38% for silver. This is very good for a heap leaching process. Silver recovery increases with an increased presence of the metal, although there is no silver on surface.

There are several hundred million tonnes of gold mineralized oxidized material to be evaluated at Caupar. The property is well located on the flat top of a mountain and at an altitude of 3,400 to 3,700 m above sea level. There are no farming activities on the site.

Jean Depatie, Chairman of Rio Moche stated: "this private placement will give us the necessary financial resources to improve our knowledge of this exciting property and to complete our corporate reorganization by evaluating the possibilities of a public listing in Canada. We are grateful to Goldcorp for the trust they have placed in us in what is a difficult environment for junior resource companies."
