Silber Companies - Liste und Neues

Hallo,
bin noch erledigt von so viel sauberer Höhlenluft und Luftfeuchte in Flussnähe.
Dazu das unverschämt gute Wetter.

Hat sich ja nicht allzuviel getan........
Kanadische Durchlässigkeit: ärger wie die Kalkalpen bei wasser...
Diesmal bei Carpathian gold.
2 Tage vor der Meldung beginnt die Aktie rasant zu steigen.
am Tag der Meldung geht es dann etwas retour.

War positiv genau wie FCO.TO. Wann wird da das 52 Wochen Hoch geknackt?

Exmin hat 2 neue properties erworben.
Wichtiger erscheint mir die heutige Meldung.
Auch die Kosten schön aufgestellt.

@edel,
beides macht sich gut in Präsentationen, mehr nicht.....
Wie sagt man da, Kraut mit Rüben vergleichen.

Hab Freitag vor einer Woche die 3,04€ Position (ein Sechstel!) von FR.V zu 3,14 verkauft. Jetzt ist dir teuerste die 2,84€ Position.
Reine Vorsichtsmaßnahme!

Dafür stark unvorsichtig: innerhalb einiger Wochen zum 3. male EXM.V
Ist ja blöd, so schnell hintereinander...........
Diesmal zu 0,5C$.

EXMIN Acquires Additional Project in the Batopilas Region, Chihuahua, Mexico
Thursday May 24, 10:41 am ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 24, 2007 -- EXMIN Resources Inc. (EXMIN) (CDNX:EXM.V - News) is pleased to announce that it has acquired an additional project in the Sierra Madre Occidental of Chihuahua, Mexico. The project consists of one concession covering 100 hectares and is located in the region south of the Reyna de Oro project and southwest of the Batopilas project. The project area was declared free by the Mexican government and EXMIN was awarded the concession after winning a drawing that resulted from simultaneous applications. Participants in the drawing were EXMIN and subsidiaries of Chesapeake Gold Corp. and Industrias Penoles. The project is surrounded by concessions controlled by these companies as well as by a subsidiary of Kennecott Exploration. EXMIN's application for 100 hectares cost a total of about US$ 4,000 dollars.

Craig Gibson, Vice President of Exploration of EXMIN, stated, "We were able to step in and beat out some strong players this time. Our continuing regional exploration program, based on site visits to areas with past mining activity, had previously identified this area as a prime acquisition target. We were investigating the ownership of the concessions when they were declared free for staking, and we were fortunate to be able to win this one. EXMIN's ongoing generative exploration program has been very selective over the last six months and has focused on evaluating areas of known mineralization and past mining in order to develop future drill targets."

THE TARGET

The target area, called Cascurrichi, consists of a large scale structure with gold mineralization that has been traced and sampled over more than 1.2 kilometres of strike length. The concession staked by EXMIN covers the core part of the known mineralization extending for about 750 metres along strike and where the structure ranges up to 29 metres in width. Preliminary surface sampling has indicated that the mineralized widths vary from 6 metres with 5.8 grams per metric tonne (g/t) gold to 13.5 metres with 0.77 g/t gold. Individual assays of as much as 11.9 grams per metric tonne (g/t) gold were obtained, and 14 of 27 samples (52%) assayed more than 0.3 g/t gold (see table of assay results below). Six samples (22%) assayed more than 2.5 g/t gold.

EXMIN plans to add this property to the pipeline of projects that will be explored in the next several months and into next year.

EXMIN Acquires Additional Concessions at the Moris Exploration Project, Chihuahua, Mexico
Friday May 25, 1:19 pm ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 25, 2007 -- EXMIN Resources Inc. (EXMIN) (CDNX:EXM.V - News) is pleased to announce that it has optioned three additional concessions in the Moris district and has finalized an option agreement to acquire five other concessions in the area. EXMIN has proposed to include all of these concessions in the Moris Exploration Joint Venture with Hochschild Mining Group (Hochschild) (see News Release of March 22, 2006). The earn-in joint venture agreement with Hochschild is separate from the EXMIN-Hochschild Moris Mine acquisition and production joint venture described in EXMIN's News Releases dated July 19, 2006, and Jan 18, 2007. Also, an additional concession was staked by the exploration joint venture.

The four new concessions cover strategic ground in all three of the principal target areas being explored by the joint venture, Tecolote, El Pilar and La Cienega. Two concessions, the Pedregosa and Juana Inez, cover approximately 23 hectares and include two of the most important historical, past producing mines and several vein structures in the El Pilar target area. The Relampago concession covers 33 hectares and includes one of the principal past producing mines in the La Cienega target area.

The fourth concession, Mi Fortuna, covers 60 hectares in the Tecolote area and was staked recently after the original concession was cancelled and declared open for staking.

The company also has finalized an option agreement that covers 170 hectares in the Pilar target, as was previously announced as a letter of intent (see News Release of February 22, 2006, Acquisition #3)............

First Majestic Silver Corp.: San Martin Silver Mine Update and New NI 43-101 Resource

Die Ex First Silver Mine San Martin.
Am letzten Bericht von First Silver und dem jetzigen von Fr kann man sehen, dass die wirklich die mine "verkommen" ließen.
Was für eine Entwicklung in 9 monaten.

Das wird ja noch ne richtig schöne Mine.

Beim ersten Lesen war ich enttäuscht.
Nach dem 3. mal bin ich erfreut und ich hab es mir wahrlich nicht schön gelesen.

Ein paar Beispiele:
The Company has also initiated exploration at the old Rosario mine and completed 1,762 metres of diamond drilling over 34 holes (28 underground and 6 from surface). None of this new work since January 1st,, 2007 is included in the new NI 43-101 resource calculation below.

3 drill rigs sind am Laufen.

Die Ausmaße der Mine sind viel größer als gedacht und überall Mineralisation.

La parilla arbeitet auf Volldampf, San Martin auch auf hohem Niveau.
Da weiß man dann auch, wozu das geld vom letzten großen PP gebraucht wird.

Strategie klar: eher egal, ob 5 Mille oz gefördert werden heuer.
Aber es wird eine gewaltige Resourcenausweitung geben.....

Für den Kurs ist das zwar nicht so gut, aber wenn alles so ungefähr normal läuft, schaut´s in 9 Monaten sehrrr, sehrr gut aus.
Dann plärrt das Baby....

Grüße
Tschonko

Ist zwar nicht Silber, aber so G´schichten wie CPN.TO, AMC.V, FCO.TO oder VIT.V, die verschleierte Schl... sind immer interessant.

Also, leicht überfällig der Bericht aber dafür ansprechend.

Carpathian Gold Announces Initial Mineral Resource-Multi-Million Ounce Gold Estimate
Tuesday May 29, 9:07 am ET

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - May 29, 2007) - Carpathian Gold Inc. (TSX:CPN - News; 'the Corporation") is very pleased to announce its initial National Instrument 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate, as provided by independent consultants AMEC Americas Limited's ("AMEC"), on its 100% owned Rovina Exploration License in central Romania, which hosts the Colnic Au-Cu porphyry deposit ("Colnic") and the Rovina Cu-Au porphyry deposit ("Rovina"). AMEC has estimated the Mineral Resource for each of the Colnic and Rovina porphyry deposits, located approximately 2.5 km apart, utilizing drill hole data to December 31, 2006. Drilling on both of these porphyries is on-going and neither porphyry has yet been fully delineated in size and average tenor

For both porphyries the Mineral Resources reported are confined to a Whittle 4x-generated conceptual pit shell to determine the amount of potentially mineable open pit mineralization using various economic assumptions. The Colnic resource estimate is divided into gold-copper ("Au-Cu") mineralization (with block model of Cu grades greater than 500 ppm) and gold ("Au") only mineralization (with block model Cu grades less than 500 ppm). The Rovina resource estimate is entirely comprised of Au-Cu mineralization.

The following table summarizes the results of the in-pit mineralization for each porphyry deposit; with Colnic comprised of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources reported at a base-case gold equivalent ("Au Eq.") cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t and Rovina comprised of Inferred Mineral Resources reported at a base-case copper equivalent ("Cu Eq.") cut-off grade of 0.25% . The base-case cut-offs are determined from assumed economic parameters such as mining and milling costs of comparable porphyry-type deposits and metal recoveries based on early-stage testwork (see Metallurgical section below). For both Colnic and Rovina the various tonnage and grade estimates at different ranges of Au Eq. and Cu Eq. cut-off grades are attached in a table at the end of this press release.

(i) Au Eq. and Cu Eq. as determined by AMEC using a gold price of $US550 per ounce and a copper price of $1.30/lb. Metallurgical recoveries are not taken into account.

- Base case cut-offs used in the table are for 0.40 g/t Au Eq. for Colnic and for 0.25% Cu. Eq. for Rovina

- Rounding of tonnes as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.

Mr. Dino Titaro, President and CEO of the Corporation commented: "We are exceptionally pleased with this initial Mineral Resource Estimate, given that it represents a starting point of the resource potential for each deposit that was achieved within only 10 months of commencement from drilling in 2006. We are highly encouraged as the global resource has more than met our initial expectations and our original minimum target goal for the project of at least 200 million tonnes has already been surpassed. We are confident that the 2007 drilling program which is currently underway should add to these resources and upgrade their category confidence level. Our exploration team has done an exceptional job in the advancement of this project and on behalf of senior management and the Board of Directors, I thank them all. In addition we are pleased with the level of detail and thoroughness brought to this estimate by AMEC in providing a high caliber and high confidence resource estimate".

The following provides information about the Resource Estimate and Conceptual Pits.

To generate the conceptual pits, the following early-stage assumptions were used. Additional work will be required to more accurately establish these parameters:

- Au Price: US$550/ounce - Cu Price: US$1.30/lb - Copper Concentrate Process Cost: US$3.00/tonne milled - For the Au-only zone at Colnic, Pyrite Concentrate/Cyanide Leach Process Cost: US$4.00

- G&A: US$1.00/tonne milled - Mining Cost: US$0.95/tonne - Colnic - Process Recovery through Copper Concentrate: 60% Au, 85% Cu - Colnic - Process Recovery through Pyrite Concentrate/Cyanide Leach: 75% Au, 0% Cu - Rovina - Process Recovery through Copper Concentrate: 60% Au, 90% Cu - Pit Slopes: 50 degrees

Resource Estimate:

- Mineral resources were estimated in conformance with the CIM Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve definitions referred to in National Instrument ("N.I.") 43--101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

- The Resource Estimate for Colnic was based on 49 drill holes (15,714 m) drilled over an area of approximately 600 m by 600 m. At Rovina the resource estimate was based on 17 drill holes (8,435 m) drilled over an area of approximately 400 m by 300 m.

- All drill holes are diamond drill core and were sampled over their entire length over mostly 1 m sample intervals. A thorough QA/QC program was in place during the drill program, which included the insertion of standard, duplicates and blanks at regular intervals.

- The integrity of the drill hole database, including assays, used in the Resource Estimate was reviewed by AMEC and deemed as acceptable.

- A three-dimensional (3D) geological and block model was generated using GEMS© software; separate domains were created for each lithology and alteration type at Colnic and Rovina.

- Grade interpolation at Colnic was completed using a combination of outlier restricted kriging and ordinary kriging with multiple passes. At Rovina outlier restricted ordinary kriging and inverse distance cubed were used.

- Densities were determined for a representative number of rock and mineralization types using industry standard methods and an average value for each modeled rock type was applied to the block model.

- Preliminary metallurgical work was completed by SGS Lakefield, Canada, for the Corporation (see below).

Mr. David Thomas, MAusIMM, Senior Geologist with AMEC, is the Qualified Person responsible for the Mineral Resource estimates for both the Colnic and Rovina Deposits. The complete N.I. 43-101 Technical Report will be filed on SEDAR at http://www.SEDAR.com within 45 days.

For both the Colnic and Rovina porphyries, there is additional mineralization outside of the conceptual pit outline that is not reported as Mineral Resources. This mineralization will require further evaluation to potentially be incorporated into a future Mineral Resource, particularly at Colnic where a comparable number of tonnes above the cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au. Eq. lies outside of the conceptual pit shell utilized for the initial resource estimate.

At both Rovina and Colnic there are higher grade portions of each deposit (see tables at end of this press release), some of which occurs near to surface. These areas could represent potential starter pits for each deposit and need to be further evaluated.

Metallurgical Testwork

Three metallurgical samples, each totaling a minimum of 20 metres of mostly 1/4 HQ core comprised of 4 five-metre composite samples for a total sample weight of 35-42 kg each, were submitted to SGS Lakefield Research, Canada, to provide a preliminary estimate of copper and gold recoveries. Two composite samples were submitted for the Colnic deposit and one composite sample for the Rovina deposit. The testwork program was overseen and supervised by Mr. Al Hayden, P. Eng., of EHA Engineering Ltd. who is a Qualified Person under N.I. 43-101 and a consultant to the Corporation.

The purpose of the testwork was to investigate the recovery of copper and gold through flotation followed by cyanide leaching of gold from the flotation tailings. Selective copper and bulk sulphide flotation samples were investigated in rougher and cleaning tests along with the effects of fineness of grind, pH, type of collectors and pyrite depressants. One cycle test was conducted on each sample consisting of flotation test work for copper and gold recoveries and cyanide leaching of the cleaner tails for additional gold recovery.

Flotation testwork on the composite samples from the Colnic and Rovina deposits has demonstrated that a saleable copper concentrate containing a significant portion of the gold can be produced.

Cycle tests for Rovina yielded copper recoveries to flotation of approximately 92%, with the concentrate grading 26.8% Cu and 28.4 g Au/t. Gold recovery was in the order of 65%. Cyanidation tests on the cleaner tails indicate that additional gold can be recovered using acceptable reagent consumptions, by leaching of flotation cleaner tails and thus enhanced the gold recovery to 79%.

For Colnic, cycle tests yielded copper recoveries to flotation of approximately 84 to 90% with the concentrate grading approximately 21% Cu and 94 to 98 g Au/t. Gold recovery was in the order of 56 to 70%. Cyanidation tests on the cleaner tails indicate that additional gold can be recovered using acceptable reagent consumptions, at this deposit by leaching of flotation cleaner tails and thereby enhancing the gold recovery to approximately 70 to 78%.

We consider these preliminary metallurgical test results to be excellent and demonstrating that there is no unusual metallurgical process that may be required and that subject to economic assessments, additional metallurgical testwork is warranted to optimize the flowsheet and to establish various process design parameters. So far, from the limited testwork, the indicated flowsheet includes bulk flotation of sulphides followed by regrinding and cleaning of concentrate to produce a saleable grade, and cyanidation of one or more cleaner tailing products. Further work will be completed on larger and more representative compiled samples throughout each deposit to determine the optimum process design. It should be noted that the additional recovery of gold mineralization from the cleaner tails was not incorporated into the AMEC conceptual pit-model for the purposes of this initial Mineral Resource estimate. Further details and comments on the preliminary metallurgical testwork will be discussed in the 43-101 report.

2007 Exploration Program

The Corporation is continuing its drilling program on each of the Colnic and Rovina porphyries, comprised of in-fill drilling, delineation drilling and exploration drilling for extensions to the mineralization as well as its generative exploration work to evaluate other porphyry targets within the vicinity of these two deposits. Highlight intersections to date in 2007 include (see press release dated April 30, 2007; note for Au Eq. and Cu Eq. grades the metal prices used at the time of the release are $US450/ounce for gold and $1.25/lb for Copper, metallurgical recoveries not taken into account):

462 m of 0.43 g Au/t and 0.41% Cu (1.21 g/t Au Eq. or 0.64% Cu Eq.) including 203 m of 0.49 g Au/t and 0.47% Cu (1.38 g/t Au Eq. or 0.73% Cu Eq.) in drill hole RRD-21 at Rovina, and;

131 m of 0.37 g Au/t and 0.23% Cu (0.81 g/t Au Eq. or 0.42% "Cu Eq.") including, 40 m of 0.57 g Au/t and 0.23 % Cu (1.01 g/t Au Eq. or 0.53% Cu Eq.) in drill hole RRD-20 at Rovina, and;

235 m of 0.79 g Au/t and 0.12% Cu (1.02 g/t gold Au Eq.) including 184 m of 0.89 g Au/t and 0.14% Cu (1.16 g/t Au Eq.) in drill hole RCD-51 at Colnic.

Both porphyries have yet to be fully delineated in respect of either their size or contained mineral content. The objective of the 2007 drilling program is to further define the size of each porphyry deposit with the additional information that is collected to be incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource estimate planned to be completed during the early part of 2008.

Mr. Titaro is the qualified person (as defined in National Instrument 43-101) overseeing the design and implementation of the present exploration programs. He is responsible for preparing the technical information contained in this news release.

A conference call has been scheduled for Wednesday May 30, 2007 at 1:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (E.T.) to discuss the Mineral Resource results and the project.

Wie schon am 9.5. hier vermerkt:
"Ergebnisse, die die Resourcen dorthin bringen, wo sie veranschlagt waren für 07. Weiß die Zahl nicht auswendig.
La Preciosa macht ihrem Namen immer mehr Ehre!"

Also das sind imo schon mehr als 100 Mille.
Die Goldgehalte sind zwar klein, machen aber auch Mist.
Companymacher eher nicht!

Restfrage: Wer nimmt La Preciosa zu welchem Preis heraus?

Möcht noch mal auf die Carpathian hinweisen CPN.TO

Victoria hat den Schleier etwas gelüftet....no ja....
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070530/0259320.html

Für mich das wichtigste daraus:
The majority of the high-grade intercepts in NW-4 occur again within the Favret Formation and thus this host rock will remain the focus of future exploration, although the up-plunge portions of the intersection zones may be found in units above the Favret. The significance of the Favret as a host rock is that, as a host rock, it has not been extensively explored in the past. It underlies most of the McCoy-Cove Mining District and, as such, will continue to be the focus of Victoria's exploratory efforts.

Sind ja im Cortez Trend Nevada.......

IMPACT Announces Continuing Improvement in Operations
Wednesday May 30, 4:58 pm ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - May 30, 2007) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:IPT - News; "IMPACT" or "the Company") is pleased to announce its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company's consolidated financial statements include the results of Royal Mines of Zacualpan Project ("Zacualpan") that was purchased on January 16, 2006 and resumed production on January 18, 2006. For the 2007 first quarter, the Company's net revenues were $1,859,000 (2006 - $1,146,000) and net profit was $266,000 (2006 - $178,000).

The comparative results for the first quarter of 2006 have been restated in accordance with the recommendations contained in CICA handbook 1506.42, as more fully described in Note 15 to the March 31, 2007 Financial Statements. There was no significant impact on net income for the quarter as a result of this restatement of the comparative 2006 first quarter earnings.

In the first quarter of 2007, the Company achieved higher levels of throughput at the Zacualpan mine, averaging 253 tonnes-per-day ("tpd"). While the amount of silver produced in the quarter was 13% lower, production in lead increased 95% and zinc by 74% over the comparable quarter in 2006. The number of total tonnes processed also increased by 75%.

Quarterly Comparison (t equals tonnes)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

During the first quarter, mining of medium grade mineral at the Guadalupe Mine continued principally on the 195m Level exploiting the Lipton, Lipton del Bajo Paulina, Intermediate and Liptonia Veins, as well as exploiting the Liptonia Vein on the 140m level.

Success in exploration drilling in 2006 led to the commencement of mining in late 2006 from La Gallega (Salvadora) Mine. Mining began on the high grade Salvadora stopes and in the first quarter also commenced on the Lipton Vein and the recently-discovered San David Vein. Material is transported by truck from La Gallega approximately 500 meters to the mill and is forming an increasingly important source of mill feed.

Fred Davidson, President, stated, "We are pleased to report another profitable quarter while continuing an aggressive exploration and development program as part of our plan to ramp up production at Zacualpan to the current capacity of the mill of 500tpd. In this quarter we were able to not only increase tonnage processed, but also lay the foundation for further production growth."

During the quarter the Company acquired through a Government auction, a 100% interest in the mineral exploration rights to the 200km2 Mamatla mining district, which lies immediately adjacent to the Zacualpan mining district. The acquisition of these exploration rights adds significantly to the overall growth potential and future prospects of the Company.

IMPACT Silver Corp. is a Tier 1 silver-focused mining and exploration company with two producing silver mines at Zacualpan, Mexico; exploration rights to two Mexican mining districts, an advanced-stage silver project at Zacatecas, Mexico; and, other projects in the Dominican Republic. Energold Drilling Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EGD - News) owns 6.6 million shares of IMPACT.

Mir wär´s ja lieber sie drillen in Mexico!

Minefinders Begins Drilling in Sonora and Nevada-Stakes Large Land Package in Sierra Madre Belt
Thursday May 31, 8:30 am ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 31, 2007 -- Minefinders Corporation Ltd. (the "Company") (Toronto:MFL.TO - News)(AMEX:MFN - News) provides an update on current exploration outside of its Dolores project.

Highlights include:

- the commencement of drilling on the Planchas de Plata and Real Viejo properties in Northern Sonora, Mexico and the Gutsy Property in Nevada

- the acquisition of over 75,000 hectares of mineral concessions in the Sierra Madre Range of northern Mexico, in a geological setting similar to the Dolores project

Company President, Mark Bailey, commented: "As we advance the Dolores gold and silver mine to production, we continue to put our exploration expertise to work. Over the years of exploring and developing Dolores, we have assembled one of the strongest exploration teams in Mexico. With a significant exploration budget, I am confidant that our field activity will continue to be rewarded."

Planchas de Plata and Real Viejo Projects, Sonora

Drilling at the Planchas de Plata and Real Viejo silver projects, in northern Sonora, Mexico, is expected to get underway this week. The program is designed to identify additional high-grade silver mineralization at both projects.

Planchas de Plata

Drilling will start at Planchas de Plata and then shift to Real Viejo, located 10 kilometers to the northwest. At Planchas de Plata, recent geologic mapping, geochemical sampling and review of previous drilling has identified a number of mineralized trends that remain open along strike and at depth as well as a series of indicators (alteration, geochemistry, geologic, and geophysical trends) that suggest the potential for concealed mineralization in the underlying rhyodacite rocks.

In 2005 and 2006, drilling at Planchas de Platahas identified continuous high-grade silver mineralization within two shallow, sub-parallel flat-lying zones that extend a minimum of 80 meters in width, 300 meters in length, and range from 15 meters to 30 meters in thickness. Lower-grade mineralization extends in all directions from the main zone. Widely-spaced step-out drilling last fall encountered narrower (1.5 meters to 9.1 meters), high-grade intercepts in similar stratigraphic horizons up to 2.5 kilometers from the main zone.

Given the extent of untested ground with similar indicators and structural fabric, the 2007 drill program has good potential to significantly expand known high-grade mineralization.

Real Viejo

The program at Real Viejo will test targets not drilled in 2006 because of drill rig scheduling. Drilling will be designed to offset and expand on mineralization identified in 2005 (as reported February 8, 2006). In that program, drill intercepts included 26.7 meters averaging 71.8 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver (2.09 opt over 87.6 feet) at a depth of 14.3 meters (47 feet) and 698 g/t silver over 2.15 meters (20.36 opt over 7.1 feet).

The drill contract with Intercore Drilling based in Guadalajara, Mexico calls for a minimum of 5,000 meters, but will be extended based upon results.

Gutsy Project, Nevada

Drilling is now underway on the Company's 100% owned Gutsy Project, located in Elko County, Nevada, within the prolific Carlin Trend. A minimum 1600 meter (5300 feet) program will be conducted by Major Drilling, of Salt Lake City, Utah.

The project is a structural zone identified by the Company's geologists, approximately five kilometers north of Newmont's Rain Mine and adjacent Rain extension deposits. The Rain complex hosts more than four million ounces of gold in structurally controlled mineralization within the Webb Formation.

The current drill program will target mineralization along and beneath surface outcrops of jasperoid and gossan, in an effort to define host stratigraphy and geochemical zonation. Outcrops are found over more than three kilometers of a major east-west to north-northwest trending structural zone. This orientation is sub-parallel to the Rain structure that formed the feeder for the Rain deposits.

Sierra Madre Property Acquisition, Mexico

In 2006, the Company commenced an extensive, helicopter-supported regional reconnaissance program to identify significant mineralized zones with geochemistry and geology similar to that of its Dolores deposit. As a result of this program, the Company has now staked over 75,000 hectares (75 sq. km.) of prospective ground within the Sierra Madre mineral belt of northern Mexico and continues to work to acquire several additional prospective areas that have been identified.

Staking in this area was based on the results of more than 76 samples that returned up to 16.85 g/t gold and 1530 g/t silver (42.35 g/t Aueq (i)) from dump samples and 7.40 g/t gold with 311 g/t silver (12.4 g/t Aueq (i)) over 2 meters width in line samples. Of 46 samples taken along the two kilometer main zone of interest, 28.9% contained greater than 1 g/t gold and averaged 4.57 g/t gold with 282 g/t Ag (9.27 g/t Aueq (i)). Within this trend, altered zones of up to 200 meters in width were observed. ((i)Aueq means "gold equivalent", calculated using a 60:1 silver to gold ratio, without regard to metallurgical recoveries.)

The Company will now begin detailed exploration programs, including geological mapping and grid sampling, over priority target areas identified during the reconnaissance program. Successful results from this work will lead to a first phase drill program, possibly before the end of the year. Follow-up exploration over a larger area is also underway to identify additional targets within this highly-prospective ground.

Dolores Project Update

Construction continues at a steady pace on the Dolores project with more than 380 personnel on site. Equipment deliveries have been ongoing with a significant number of the project equipment now on site. Although earthworks in the truck shop area and leach pad have gone more slowly than expected, due in part to the need for additional blasting and a shortage of contractor equipment, work on the Merrill-Crowe plant has progressed well, with installation of solution tanks, filters and clarifiers, and the recent completion of the roof over the main building.

Installation of steel at the crusher sites is ongoing and footings for the conveyor systems are being poured. A more detailed update on Dolores mine construction will be provided at the end of the second quarter.

Separately, the Company has been advised by its consultants that an updated independently-audited Dolores project resource model is near completion and will be released to it shortly. The report has taken longer than originally understood, apparently as a result of constraints on available manpower, typical of the mining industry in general at present.

The updated report, based on drilling through the end of 2006, will be the first audit of Dolores project resources since the November 2004 report on which the Dolores feasibility study was based. It is expected to have significant positive implications for the economics of the Dolores gold and silver mine.

Quality Control and Assurance

All analyses reported are fire assay analyses for gold and multi-acid digestion with AA analyses or fire assay analyses for silver, and completed by either Chemex Labs of Vancouver, Canada, or Inspectorate Labs of Sparks, Nevada.
