Exploration Project – Las Chispasxploration Project as Chispas

Las Chispas area is located approx 160 km NE of Hermosillo Sonora Mexico and 30 km north of Santa Elena Mine Las Chispas area is located approx. 160 km NE of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and 30 km north of Santa Elena Mine. 

Historically known for rich silver veins. Publicly disclosed information (*) suggests historic cumulative production of 120 million oz of silver and 200,000 oz of gold from numerous mines within the Las Chispas area.

Good infrastructure with highway nearby.g y y

Epithermal mineralization occurs in 0.5 – 5 m wide veins with stockworks and breccias over an estimated strike length of 1.5 km. (*)

Targets for modern exploration include drilling possible near‐surface vein extensions; depth extensions of historical producing areas and possibly reprocessing existing waste and old tailings dumps.

7NOTE: Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources; and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.

Huasabas property is located approx. 200 km NE of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico with easy access and existing  infrastructure.

Previous field mapping and sampling showed anomalous gold, silver, mercury, antimony, and barium occurring in 0.5 ‐ 30 m wide veins, stockworks and breccias approx. 1 km in strike length.
