Property and Location
The Santo Domingo project consists
of two mining concessions totaling 135 ha and is located 90 km northwest
of Guadalajara, Mexico. Santo Domingo has excellent infrastructure
with all weather road access and a high voltage transmission line
that runs through the property. Water is also available from the
Santiago River which flows through the property.
The Santo Domingo Project has the potential to contain
300
million ounces of silver. The project is located in
a similar setting to a number of 100 million ounce plus silver-gold
deposits in Mexico.
Recent Developments and Proposed Exploration Program
Three holes were drilled in 2006, (please see Press Releases section for details) and a new drill rig and equipment was purchased in 2007 for use on the Santo Domingo Property. Our drilling program has recommenced on the Santo Domingo project. A minimum of 4,000 metres is planned for the drilling program. Drilling will concentrate on delineating the ore grade mineralized silver, gold, lead and zinc zones encountered in the previous drill holes and in adits.
Goals of the drilling program will be to:
- Confirm the at-depth extension of the
La Rayas zone, which was previously intersected in the 1999
drilling program
- Qualify the potential grade and size of the La Rayas zone
- Evaluate the newly discovered Guadalupe zone
