Au--Ag project, Durango
Claim Description & Property History
• A group of 11 adjoining mineral concessions covering a little-explored
old mining district totalling 9,756 hectares. Owned and exploited at small
scale by the same local miner family for the last 50 years
• More than 8 high-grade epithermal gold-silver, and gold-silver-lead-zinc
vein systems have been identified on the property ( La Esperanza, Sta.
Margarita and Cerro de Oro). And many more potential prospects, some
known, remain to be located, sampled, mapped and evaluated.
• Little explored mining district. The somewhat challenging terrain, long
history of local strife and difficult access to the prospects has discouraged
most, if not all, of the prospectors and exploration geologists who visited
the area in the past 50 years.
• A preliminary reconnaissance exploration program (2005-06), including
rock channel sampling and semi-detailed mapping on 3 prospective areas
on the property, clearly suggests that the resource potential of the El
Centenario property is in the million ounce-plus gold range.

Main Zone
•NE-trending host structure has been
traced for more than 2 km along strike
and remains open at both ends.
Sta. Margarita
West Zone
• Mineralized host structure outcrops
along a significant vertical extent, more
