Note: The widths reported above are horizontal widths across the vein, not necessarily the true width of mineralization. Because the vein is, however, very steeply dipping, approaching sub-vertical in places, the reported widths probably represent 90-100% of the true widths. Trenches SVP-T09-001 to -003 are spaced 25-65 m apart along a 100 m segment of the vein in the southern portion of the known Veta Principal system. Trenches SVP-T09-004 to -007 start 210 m farther north, are spaced 90-180 m apart and examine a 420 m segment of the vein system. Trenches SVP-T09-008 to -011 start another 190 m farther north, are spaced 10 to 60 m apart and focus on a 105 m segment of the vein system.
La Florentina
The La Florentina target, about 5.5 km east-northeast of Veta Principal, encompasses a 2.5 square km area of a broad N-S trending stockwork system consisting of small quartz veins and hydrothermal breccias. CCSA's recent exploration in the La Florentina stockwork system collected 256 sawed continuous channels cut along the walls of 6 old historical trenches and other outcrops in the target area. The samples returned values ranging from less than detection to 4.10 g/t gold and 2,521 g/t silver. The trench sampling is summarized in the following table:

Estancia
The Estancia target area, approximately 5 km west of Veta Principal, is a 5 sq. km area consisting of a series of brecciated subparallel quartz veins and stockworks which are intermittently exposed along NW and NE cross-trending structural zones from 400 to 700 m in length. A primary target is the NW-trending Rosario vein, exposed over a 250 m strike length. A total of 169 outcrop grab samples and 20 discontinuous chip samples have been collected from the Estancia target area. Of these, 25 contain more than 0.50 g/t Au with 15 having from 1.0 g/t Au up to 15.20 g/t Au and up to 4,634 g/t Ag, as shown in the table below.
