High-grade – Higher-grade – Vendome-grade

A Candidate with Potential for the Largest Silver Discovery of the Century

Everything that was reported from the San Javier project by Vendome Resources was extraordinary, not to say sensational. It is rare to read in relevant media about surface rock samples yielding more than 1,000 grams of silver per ton. It is a different story with Vendome. Dozen of assays revealed a silvery glittering visage of a silver monster blinking through the surface. 2,000 grams, 4,000 grams, 8,000 grams, and even 15,000 grams of silver per ton were found in southern Mexico right next to a main road. Metal miners like Goldcorp and Nyrstar or explorers like Torex and Newstrike pro-ve that Guerrero – the province where Vendome has been searching and finding silver – is “the place to be“.

Evaluation & Prognosis

Toronto based Vendome Resources Corp. (“VDR“) is an exploration com-pany with 3 active projects in the world-class mining district Sierra Madre del Sur Precious Metal Belt of Mexico and 1 project (Ivanhoe) in Ontario.

The 3 Mexican properties San Javier (incl. the old San Javier Mine), La Diana and San Miguel are adjacent to eachother and cover a combined area of almost 18,000 ha in the province of Guerrero, where numerous prominent deposits rich in silver, gold, zinc and lead are located. The fa-mous Guerrero Gold Belt is around 150 km northwest, where Goldcorp (NYSE: GG; market cap $30 billion) operates the Los Filos Mine – the lar-gest Mexican gold mine (7.7 million oz @ 345.000 oz/year). In 2010, Fa-rallon Mining Ltd. brought its G-9 deposit into production some 210 km northwest (yearly output: 50,000 t zinc, 1.5 million oz silver and 20,000 oz gold). In 2011, the world’s largest zinc producer, Nyrstar from Belgium, took Farallon over for around C$400 million.

Thanks to the missing infrastructure in this part of Mexico, limited explo-ration was conducted in the past being the reason why many prospective areas are virtually untouched or solely small-scale and semi-professional mining was done at the most obvious mineral deposits cropping out at surface. However, the Mexican government has been investing large sums into the infrastructure during the last years (such as construction of streets, supply of water, electricity and telecommunications) which has made Guerrero substantially more attractive for exploration and mining.

Some examples for success in the province of Guerrero are Torex Gold Inc. (TSX: TXG; C$777 million market cap) whose share price rose strongly from C$0.15 (2009) to C$2.40 (2012) based on extraordinary drill results. Shareholders of Newstrike Capital Inc. (TSX: NES; C$199 million market cap) also had the chance to make some substantial profits during the 2 years when its share price rose some 3,000% (2009-2011).

The VDR-projects La Diana and San Miguel are virtually unexplored, whe-reas several consolidated findings were already made at San Javier. The grade and trend of mineralization at the old San Javier Mine is known as samples showed the Javier Vein averaging 2,070 g/t silver, 5.2% lead and 2.5% zinc in 2009, while the Ancha Vein returned 273 g/t silver and 0.2% lead and zinc and the Las Juntas Vein 172 g/t silver, 3.7% lead and 2% zinc. Samples from the old stock pile presented a mineralization of 463 g/t silver, 3.8% lead and 2.7% zinc.

Page 5: Rockstone Research VDR1 English

Since December 2011, VDR sucessfully proves that a significantly more widespread and higher-graded silver mineralization occurs as previously expected. Apparently, only 300 m southwest of the old San Javier Mine an even larger vein system occurs at surface – the Veta Tajo Zone, which was discovered by VDR and which was obviously overlooked by earlier prospectors. In spring 2012, a total of 42 samples were collected here elating with an overall average of 925 g/t silver and up to 5% lead and 6% zinc (only 14 of the 42 samples had less than 100 g/t silver). The newly discovered Veta Tajo vein system even extends to the north and south. Additionally, numerous new veins were identified at several other locations of the San Javier property also showing high-grade mineraliza-tion at surface, such as 15,000 g/t silver.

Yet the exploration focus of VDR is not only limited to the 253 ha sized San Javier property, but also on the highly prospective neighbor proper-ties San Miguel (2,000 ha) and La Diana (14,722 ha). Hence, the explo-ration potential of all 3 properties is extraordinarily high with no other project around in this promising and unexplored part of district being on the same page as VDR.

We are not aware of any other active silver exploration company having recently started with an aggressive exploration program based on that many and high-grade samples from surface. We rate the prospects for an exploration success as exquisitely high. With a current market cap of solely C$11 million, we categorize the shares of Vendome as “underva-lued“. Shortly before drill targets are defined and rigs being contracted, we anticipate a fast and strong stock price appreciation being based on the speculation of a drilling success. For the next 6 months, we set our price target at a minimum of C$0.55 – which represents a market cap of C$22 million with 40 million shares issued and oustanding. Should one drill hole confirm even roughly the same mineralization grades as the rock samples from surface, we expect a market cap of at least C$50 milion (C$1.25/share).

The reason we consider such a fast and strong share price appreciation as probable is that such kind of polymetallic vein deposits (in contrast to most other deposit types) can be brought into production relatively fast and inexpensively.

San Javier

The San Javier property has a size of 253 ha and is located within the prolific Sierra Madre del Sur Precious Metal Belt in the municipality of Malinaltepec (Guerrero province) in southwestern Mexico.

Interest:In December 2011, VDR’s wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary (Vendome Minas S.A. de C.V.) has entered into an agreement to acquire from Can-sim Minas S.A. de C.V. an earn-in option for a 50% undivided interest.

In total, VDR must make to Cansim aggregate cash payments of C$325,000, issue 3 million shares over a 2 year period, and incur C$3 million in exploration expenditures over a 3 year period.

In late February 2012, it was negotiated with Cansim that a new total of C$2.6 million must be invested into exploration by VDR. For this expenditu-re credit of C$400,000, VDR must issue 800,000 shares to Cansim – thus, one share of VDR is considered to be worth C$0.50 respectively VDR was valued by the seller with C$0.50/share (current share price: C$0.28).

Deposit Type:Silver-gold-lead-zinc epithermal vein mineralization typical of polymetal-lic deposits found within the Sierra Madre del Sur Precious Metal Belt.

Mineralization: Mineralization consists of sulphides, mainly pyrite, chalcopyrite, ar-gentite, galena, sphalerite and arsenopyrite. The wall rocks hosting the stockwork vein system showed kaolinization and sericitization alteration which is considered to be crucial. The stockwork vein system is thought to be similar to rift related epithermal low-sulphidation systems that are host to numerous world-class silver mines in Mexico, e.g. those located near Taxco.

Past Production: Local artisanal miners operated a small mine during 1970-80s. Mine wor-kings (including an 85 m deep shaft and a small processing plant) are located on the property, however limited mining has been carried out and historical estimates of tonnage and grade recoveries are unknown.

Past Exploration:To the best of the management’s knowledge, no modern exploration techniques have ever been utilized at the property.

In conjunction with the preparation of 43-101 in November 2009 by the previous optionor, chip samples were collected from various minera-lized structures and stock piles identified on the property under the supervision of a qualified person. Highlights of the laboratory analyses were reported as follows:

During a VDR staff reconnaissance field trip in August 2010, a qualified person collected chip/grab samples from several veins identified on the property returning grades up to 15,042 g/t silver, 3.2% zinc, and 3.4% lead - which represent the best ever recorded samples at San Javier.

In December 2010, a qualified person associated with the previous optionor of the San Javier Mine collected channel samples with a rock saw from exposed quartz veins within the principal mine area of the property. Samples were cut across the exposed vein perpendicular to strike. The assays are listed on the right and show the mineralzation of such veins: on average more than 1.8 kg silver per ton (world-class).

Current Exploration:In December 2011, VDR conducted a property visit identifying a wides-pread quartz vein stockwork system with veins widths up to 1.5 m and estimated strike lengths of 400-500 m collecting grab samples from se-veral veins located distally from the main adit portal on the property. Results of the analyses are as follows:

These results have considerably expanded the known areal extent of the property’s stockwork vein system, as shown in the December 2010 as-says. Apart from the presence of galena and sphalerite, VDR field staff have noted that the higher values of silver, lead and zinc obtained in la-boratory analyses tend to be directly related to vein samples containing high concentrations of pyrite and arsenopyrite. VDR management must be extremely encouraged by these new results in that new distal stock-work vein exposures located through prospecting continue to yield high-grade silver, lead and zinc values.

In March 2012, VDR began a multi-phase exploration program. The company’s consultant, A.C.A Howe International Ltd., has recommended an initial program designed to determine optimal targets for future dril-ling. Specifically, the program focuses on thoroughly sampling the vein systems. A control grid is being established for magnetic surveys and soil sampling. Induced polarization (IP) surveys are being done in selec-ted areas to map alteration zones and possible disseminated sulphides within vein system wall rocks. Detailed and property-scale mapping is also being done, besides structural analysis from satellite imagery of the San Javier concession.

Franz Kozich, President of VDR, stated:“We are very excited to begin this exploration work as there is no recorded former systematic surface exploration of the San Javier Mine property. We feel that this program has the potential to identify new vein exposures yielding high grade

polymetallic values as well as lower grade bulk mineralization in the altered wall rocks that host these veins.”

In May 2012, it was announced that “an exploration program targeting the property‘s mineralized systems is now well underway. In excess of 600 chip and channel samples have been collected from existing and newly exposed mineralized showings at the property. The company‘s consultant A.C.A Howe International Limited is presently conducting de-

tailed field mapping and reconnaissance. The preliminary results of this mapping appear to have enlarged the known mineralized envelope of the vein system and field staff believes that the San Javier vein system may be a hydrothermal system related to regional volcanism. Chip and channel samples have been submitted to SGS Laboratories in Durango, Mexico.“

Franz Kozich, President of VDR, commented:“We are very excited with the indications of the initial explora-tion work at the San Javier Mine Property. New vein exposures with the potential to yield high grade polymetallic values have

been identified by our field staff, as well as lower grade bulk mineralization in the altered wall rocks that host these veins. The scale of the mineralized system at San Javier continues to

grow.“

In early July 2012, it was announced that “the spring 2012 exploration program targeting the property‘s mineralized systems is now complete. Sampling focussed on the Veta Tajo area located 300 m southwest of the historical San Javier mine workings. The company‘s consultant, A.C.A. Howe International Ltd., believes the Veta Tajo is a previously unrecog-nized, unexplored and unexploited area of significant visible stockwork quartz veining that spans an 80-100 m vertical rise in the west bank of the river valley that transects the central property area. A total of 42 grab samples were collected from exposed vein material. Values for silver ran-ged from <2 g/t to 7,212 g/t, with an average grade of 925 g/t.

Of the 42 grab samples:- 4 returned silver values less than 10 g/t,

- 10 returned silver values between 10-100 g/t, - 18 returned silver values between 100-1,000 g/t,- 10 returned silver values greater than 1,000 g/t.

Additionally, values for lead in these grab samples ranged from 0.1-5%, and zinc ranged from 0.1-6%.

Quartz veining in the Veta Tajo is stacked, horizontal to shallow-dipping and consists of:

- a set of 0.8-1 m thick veins dipping 40-60° to the east - a second set of 25-40 cm thick veins dipping 25-35°

- a third set of 2-5 cm thick veins dipping 0-15°.

INITIATING COVERAGE August 20, 2012 Vendome Resources Corp. TSX.V: VDR Frankfurt: 9VR

Page 9: Rockstone Research VDR1 English

Veining appears to be associated with east-west structures cross-cutting a host rock previously identified as “old granite“, which Howe has re-interpreted as strongly silicified felsic volcaniclastics. Howe‘s field work also indicates that veining extends into areas north and south of Veta Tajo.“

In late July 2012, VDR announced that “chip channels were typically 2-3 cm wide and 1 cm deep and were cut using a hammer and moil. Labora-tory analysis of these samples returned silver values ranging from <2 g/t to bonanza grades in excess of 2,000 g/t.

Vendome management must be extremely encouraged by these chip results in that the potential for bulk silver mineralization in wall rock, in addition to high grade narrow vein mineralization has been confirmed.

This material found at surface makes it extremely amenable for low cost open-pit mining methods. The source of silver has been previously unrecognized at the San Javier Mine property, and may be similar to other large scale silver mines in Mexico.

The next phase of work at San Javier will be to test for Veta Tajo mine-ralized extensions at depth and along strike, and to complete airborne surveying and reconnaissance prospecting with a view to developing drill targets over the next weeks.

La Diana

The La Diana property covers 14,722 ha and surrounds VDR‘s option of the San Javier property on 3 sides (see map on page 4).

La Diana is virtual unexplored – no modern exploration techniques have ever been utilized. In July 2010, VDR‘s management and geological team visited the property as part of their due diligence process. New upgrades to area access will allow VDR to initiate a multi-phase exploration pro-gram in the second half of 2012.

VDR‘s President and CEO, Franz Kozich, commented: “When we were presented with satellite and other data for

the property, we found it to be quite impressive. This led us to decide to personally visit the property and see the situation

first-hand. The site visit only increased our level of enthusiasm toward the strong merit of the La Diana property and we look

forward to advancing this project.“

In November 2010, VDR announced an agreement in principal to acquire a 50% interest in the La Diana property from Cansim Minas. Under the terms of the agreement, VDR must pay Cansim C$250,000 in cash and issue 3 million shares. Specifically, VDR will pay C$200,000 and issue 1 mlion shares upon obtaining regulatory approval.

A further payment of C$50,000, within 6 months of regulatory approval, subject to the close of a minimum financing of $500,00 by VDR. In addi-tion, VDR is to issue 1 million shares on the first year anniversary of the executed agreement date, and a third tranche of 1 million shares on the second year anniversary of the executed agreement. VDR will be required to incur C$3 million in exploration expenses by the third year anniversary.

San Miguel

The San Miguel property is approx. 2,000 ha in size and is surrounded by the La Diana property (14,722 ha). San Miguel is virtual unexplored – no modern exploration techniques have ever been utilized.

VDR‘s President & CEO, Franz Kozich, commented: “We are very excited about the potential acqui-sition of the San Miguel property, as it further demonstrates the type of enthusiasm we have

for the region.“

In August 2010, VDR announced that its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary (Vendome Minas, S.A. de C.V.) has entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the mineral rights in the San Miguel property from Santa Claws Minas S.A. de C.V. VDR must pay C$25,000 in cash and issue 2.5 million shares to Santa Claws Minas.

Ivanhoe

In August 2010, VDR‘s Exploration Manager, Warren Hawkins (P.Eng), also a Geological Engineer for Hawk Exploration Consultants, commen-ted as follows on this property in Ontario, Canada:

“The property is located just south of Highway approximately 10 km west of the village of Foleyet, Ontario, and just west of the northern tip of Ivanhoe Lake. The property consists of 5 claim units, centred on a 9 to 10 channel Geotem EM conductor associated with a strong magnetic high. The anomaly is circular in morphology with an approximate dia-meter of 250 to 300 metres.

The Ivanhoe Lake Cataclastic Zone, a major structural feature in the area borders the western margin of the anomaly. A secondary fault strikes northeast through the approxi-mate anomaly centre. During a visit to the property, the author noted that the immediate area of the anomaly is a topographic low with few outcrops. According to OGS regional mapping, the ap-proximate anomaly area coinci-des with a leucogabbro intrusive unit that hosts pyrite, pyrrohtite and chalcopyrite mineralization. The OGS reported no surface grab assay values. The surround-ing country rocks are mapped as Proterozoic granodiorites. A re-view of recent assessment file in-formation indicates that no signi-ficant exploration was completed on this anomaly, which Noranda

held as part of a large block of claims in the area in the 1970’s. Noranda later pulled out of mineral exploration in Canada and the ground was subsequently dropped.

The ground was only recently re-staked; the only reported intervening work being that of the OGS Geotem survey in 1989. The author confir-med the presence of the anomaly on both the Noranda airborne survey map and OGS Geotem survey map.“

Under the terms of the option agreement to acquire these claims, VDR must pay the vendors C$32,000 in cash and issue 830,000 shares. The ven-dors received a 3% net smelter royalty (NSR), whereas VDR may purchase 50% of the NSR at any time for a payment of C$3 million to the vendors.

Technical Analysis

Between mid-2010 and late 2011, the share price of VDR at the TSX.V fluctuated within a red-green triangle.

In late 2011, some smaller breachings of the lower (green) triangle leg occurred, yet the price managed to break above the upper (red) leg at approx. C$0.15 in December – and a so-called breakout followed to approx. C$0.19, whereafter a so-called classical pullback to the red-green triangle apex occurred.

Thereafter, the final movement out of the 20-month tri-angle started: the so-called thrust – a strong upward-trend (highlighted in lightgreen).

Principally, the goal of a thrust is to rise above the high of the triangle or breakout, transform it into a new support in order to start with a new and long-term upward-trend thereafter.

The high of the 20-month triangle was between C$0.28-0.33 which means that the current goal of the thrust since early 2012 is to transform this resistive level into new sup-port. To achieve this, the price is using another sideways consolidation which was also forming along a red-green triangle since early 2012. As early as May, breakouts began, and numerous pullbacks followed, whereas all of them held successfully in the triangle (sell-signal when breaching the green leg). As most thrusts generally start at 3/4 before the apex, the thrust may have started already in July 2012 – with the goal of breakingt the final resistance at C$0.33, transform it into new support in order for a new and sustai-nable upward-trend to typically start thereafter.

The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is in neutral territory at the moment. Relatively to the HUI minig index, the VDR stock performs significantly better, whereas a tringle formed as well out of which the thrust began in late 2011 currently attempting to transform the high of the triangle (0.0006 points) into new support in order for a new and strong upward-trend to start thereafter. The MACD generated a buy-signal recently. The ROC indicator fluctuates sideways along the red-green triangle out of which numerous break-outs and pullbacks statrted since few months, whereas the final thrust may alrady have started. The MFI (Money Flow Index) moves within an upward-trend and is currently in neutral areas. Ther TSI (True Strength Index) moves within a red-green triangle out of which numerous breakouts and pullbacks followed in late 2011. As soon as the darkred re-sistance currently at approx. 0 points is broken, we antici-pate a strong thrust.
