3. FAULTS & LINEAMENTS
The properties are part of the Vetas
Mining District where the small
mines and targets in the District are
concentrated along two blocks
separated by two small streams:
Cutac and Volcan, main lineaments
associated to faults related to
trending vein system (N30E, N4060W, EW).
The Northwest striking Cutac and
Volcan fault zones appear to be the
principal structural controls on
mineralization in the Vetas and
Reyna de Oro areas respectively.

4. MINERALIZED BLOCKS
BLOCK 1:
Located to the west side of Cutac Stream,
related to El Dorado, La Providencia and
Trompeteros mines with N30W and EW
strike dipping to the north, with
geochemistry and high gold and silver
grades in each level indicating a downthrown block. Irregular presence of Cu, Pb
and Zn anomalies.
The preliminary interpretation indicates a
block which is higher up in the original
system and therefore been less eroded,
where lower levels can indicate the
presence of polymetallic + Au in economic
grades.

Vetas Stockwork
Stockwork (Disseminated bulk tonnage lower grade Au target)
- In Pre-Colombian times it was worked by the indigenous Sura, and then by the Spanish
through small open pits over the stockwork, known locally as Pozo del Rey or La Araa.
-Sampling each 50m of on surface shows significant anomalous Au values in both intrusive
and the surrounding gneiss stockwork (Real Minera)
Vetas Stockwork
Stockwork (lower grade Au)
- Consists of quartz-FeOx, white quartz and FeOx-quartz-pyrite multi-directional veinlets.
- Width from 1 to 5 cm and argillic and supergene alteration. Zone is 600m x 300 x 300m.
- The principal mineralization is associated with FeOx-Qtz-Py at surface with gold high
grades.
