north-east and west respectively of the populations of Puerto Peñasco and Sonoyta, in Sonora state, being well
connected by 34 kilometers of paved road (Federal Highway No. 3) and 3 kilometers of dirty road.
As part of a regional exploration program to identify evidence related to orogenic gold deposits, a high resolution
magnetic- radiometric survey and the results indicate that there is a relationship between the anomalous high, low
and known deposits so, given the geological regional context, which determines the NW - SE structural evidence.

Were collected 904 soil samples to be analyzed
by the method of Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) with
separation of 300 meters, in 28 lines in the
N45°E direction, and were collected every 500
meters. The Ag, As, Au, Hg, Pd and Sb assays
were processed in the laboratory “Australia
Minerals” (LAS) for
their expertise and efficiency. The gold and silver
anomalies show remarkable agreement with the
geophysical guidelines.
MMI Gold Anomalies
The response factors were calculated by dividing
by 0.02 gold ore grades. A high ratio suggests
good chance that an element is present at depth.
Any sample with ratio of 10 or greater was
considered anomalous. Specifically, a factor of 80
times higher than the background value was
calculated.
The most important geochemical anomaly spans
an area of 2 km2 in south‐central “Delia Project”
portion coincides with the projection
of intrusive bodies with terrestrial exploration
interpreted
resistivity
and
gravimetric.
High‐resolution geophysical results, MMI
geochemical anomalies and geological structural
context analysis on the project, suggest an
attractive area for additional exploration.

4. Ixtepec Project
Oldest rocks in the region are late Jurassic metavolcanic outcropping along a NW‐SE strip, north of the
project. They are followed by a Neocomian meta‐sedimentary sequence topped by Albian limestone
and dolomite. By Paleocene, clastic rocks are deposited, and by Miocene, a magmatic event takes place
during which andesite‐dacite tuff, subvolcanic dacite intrusions and granite granodiorite are emplaced,
a suite that is part of the Southern Sierra Madre Magmatic Arch.
Ixtepec Height is located in the east flank of a tectonic graben limited by a NW‐SE system of faults
along which intrusion of crystalline and hypabyssal rocks into the previous meta‐volcanic, meta‐
sedimentary as well as the andesite and conglomerate sequences.
It is possible that during the late sub‐volcanic stage, saturated hydrothermal fluid were circulating to fill
the micro‐fractures and faults systems.
As a result, quartz veins and veinlets parallel systems are observed bearing galena, sphalerite, pyrite
and chalcopyrite in an intense argillic alteration and silicified zone generating an outstanding oxidized
and leached aureole. Such arrangement suggests a
gold‐silver‐associated high sulfidation conditions.

6. San Juan – La Paz Project
Five areas of importance were identified; “San Hilario”, “Laguna Cota”, “La Matanza”, “Cañada del
Cerro” and “El Gavilán”. Structures that are of most interest are a pair of mantles known as “San
Hilario”, and can be observed for about 2.5 km, and “Laguna Cota” along almost 3.7 km, both
variable toward the NW30°‐ 60° W and dip soft NE from 02° to 04°. The thickness
also has variations ranging from 0.20 to 1.50 meters.
With the assays results performed to the samples collected, we obtained average ore grade 17 %
P2O5 for mantles.
It is estimated that the mantles may extend for 20 km to reach the eastern boundary of the project,
and lthough not emerge in full; it is the same mineralized horizons that arise and operated in “San
Juan de la Costa”.
For this reason and geological characteristics of the region, it is estimated geological potential
constituted by 3 km long and 0.75 m thick mantles, with an ore grading 17% of phosphorus
pentoxide.

Mineralization consists mainly of Pb‐Zn‐Cu (Limestones‐mudstones
and Limestones) represented by oxides and carbonates as
hidrocincite, smithsonite, cerussite and malachite with
associations Ag and minor of Ti and Mo.
The chip and channel sampling conducted in these mineralized
structures was given its surface orientation occurrence, obtained
ore grades in veins with 458 ppm Zn, Pb and 171.53 ppm, and for
mantles 155 g/t Ag, 2.3 % Cu and 104.5 ppm Zn .
The scope of work developed by the SGM on Assignment “El
Porvenir”, allowed estimation based on distribution, longitudinal
development, thickness of the identified mineralized structures
and dimensions of the mineralized trend potential of 500 tons with
ore grading of 67 g/t Ag and 1.35 % Cu.

The origin of the mineral deposit is Magmatic, and the mineralization consists of Rare Earths
Elements (REE) and platinoids. This mineralization is associated with the occurrence of
carbonatitics dykes and trailing breccias.
The outcrop on the north of the mining claim show an irregular shaped chimney, with 20‐25 m of
diameter, rocks composed mottled appearance due to the presence of micro‐matrix amphibole
blasts quartzfeldspar and calcite, which in turn is traversed by fine stuffed veinlets
ferromagnesian. The veinlets also traverse a system filled with hematite laminations deformed.
The arrangement often recalls a dalmatian fur. Associate, a compact ferruginous‐tuffaceous
clastic rock look and brown with microfolds evidencing that the original laminations were
subjected to ductile deformation was observed.
In Mariana zone (a third party property) there is an outcrop of granite porphyry intruded by
breccia carbonatite, over an area of 750 x 350 m. Peñoles Mining Co., made five drill holes with
305 meters depth that never passed through the carbonatite breccia. No precious or base

cap rocks exhibit three general mineralogical
areas:
1) An upper zone of sterile limestone.
2)An average transitional area of p
orous
limestone with sulfur.
3) A lower anhydrite zone.
Although these areas are not strictly in that
order corresponds to a typical stratigraphic
sequence and can graduate to one another.
The thicknesses of the sulfur in the cap vary
from a few millimeters to more than 200 m.
similarly, the depth to which sulfur has been
found from near the surface to more than 700
meters.
The average depth at which sulfur has been
exploited is 297 m. The limestone cap is cut
from 50 to 246 meters below the surface. The

the increase to more than 50% of the demand for fertilizer production in the country. The sulfur is mostly used in the
manufacture of insecticides, fertilizers, chemicals, among others.
• In 2007 the national and international demand for sulfur increased substantially, causing shortage that hit international
prices range from $500 a ton, which led to the importance of reactive sulfur in salt domes of Isthmus.
•The sulfur requirement in our country has increased, regardless of the value per ton reached for the high purity sulfur.
Notably sulfur Istmo Basin is high quality and purity.
• Through calculating reserves was performed calculating based on the drilling development using the Isopach method:

NS and EW.
Mineralization occurs as cryptomelane‐manganese,
psilomelane, hollandite, pyrolusite‐associated with
hematite, argentiferous galena, malachite and barite
oxides.
Manganese and iron oxides are primarily exposed in the
zone of supergene enrichment, and may expect some

appear deep.
The district has been productive since World War I and II,
with an average grade of 30% Mn; by 1959 and in the 70s,
production declined and became intermittent, with
average grades of 22% Mn. Old dumps reported from 4 to

base encase the Cupido Formation (Khap-Cz) dolomitized
comprises limestone and interstratified clay horizons.
Work in the assignment had a Regional semi-detailed scope,
developing and interior mine surface mapping, sampling and
channel orientation chips mineralized structures, chemical
analysis and interpretation.
The alterations observed are silicification, dolomitization
supergene and oxidation in the hosted rocks, especially
limestone in formations La Mula and Cupido.
