AuEq (g/t) = gold equivalent (g/t). AuEq (g/t) calculated assuming a long-term gold price of US $1200/oz and a long-term copper price of US $2.75/lb. No adjustment has been made for metallurgical recoveries or net-smelter returns as these remain uncertain at this time. AuEq formula: AuEq g/t = Au g/t + ((Cu% x 22.0462 x 2.75)/(1200/31.1035)) g/t; Ag values are not included. Gold and copper grades capped at 5 g/t Au and 2% Cu, respectively. Intercepts reported as down-hole lengths and may not represent true thicknesses.


Drill holes LME-1093 and -1094 probe the area between the La Cantera and Middle Zone resources (Figure 4). Magnetic and IP data suggest the presence of a magnetic body at depth. LME-1093 was successful at intersecting a mineralized intrusive (see Figure 5), though the reportable interval is relatively narrow. It does confirm the existence of mineralized intrusive between the two deposits, and may contribute a focus for future drilling in this area.
