La Negra’s main attraction
----- End of picture text -----
-
Close to coast and infrastructure
-
Excellent “lead in” data reduces project risk
-
Substantial polymetallic exploration target of 10Mt-70Mt*
-
Known high grade zinc-lead-silver-(gold) mineralisation outcrops; large volume of sulphides inferred at depth in geophysics
-
Possibly linked to concealed copper porphyry system
-
Potentially very high value project if a substantial resource is confirmed
-
Various development options available to the Company if a resource is delineated
-
Large mining companies (eg. Vale) operating nearby
-
Under the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Resources (Paragraph 18) the Company is required to make the following statement with regard to Exploration Targets – the potential quantity and quality is
-
conceptual in nature, and that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource or Ore Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

- One license of 575.6 ha
Zinc, lead & precious metals exploration
• Limited exploration performed on the tenement, however within surrounding area a zone of approx. 8km in length has been reported with very strong zinc, copper, lead, silver and gold anomalies - Cerro Huancash covers over 3km of prospective belt
• Cerro Huancash will be the initial focus in Peru, with surface exploration in early 2012 followed by drilling towards Q2 of 2012 subject to favourable results
