EVALUATION REPORT - THE DOS HORNOS AND VETA TOMAS GOLD SILVER STRUCTURES, NUEVO MILENIO PROJECT
1.00 SUMMARY
Cream Minerals De Mexico S.A. De C.V., a subsidiary of Cream Minerals Ltd., is the owner of the Nuevo Milenio Gold-Silver property near Tepic in the State of Nayarit, Mexico. The Nuevo Milenio is an epithermal precious metal prospect that has been explored the past 7 years (2000 to 2007). Four major areas of disseminated gold-silver mineralization have been delineated within a small portion of the property that has a widespread exploration potential for similar mineral occurrences.
The claim area lies within the Municipality of Xalisco about 20 km southeast of Tepic and is situated 7 km east of Highway #200. The property consists of the Nuevo Milenio Fraccion 1, title # 225967 encompassing a total area of 2,260.063 hectares. The property is close to local infrastructure and is easily accessible by conventional roads and numerous secondary and drill access roads throughout the claim area.
This report was prepared at the request of Cream Mineral Ltd as a supportive document in respect to calculated Inferred Mineral Resources, as defined and accepted by the CIM December 2005. It is based upon exploration conducted from 2002 to 2007 under supervision of the writer and a review of the comprehensive database of Cream Minerals de Mexico S.A. de C.V.
Most of the detailed exploration information is archived at Cream Minerals de Mexico S.A. de C.V. in Durango, Mexico copies and electronic transfers of reports, maps and sections are available at Cream Minerals Ltd. in Vancouver.
Dr A. D. Drummond, P. Eng., acted as geological consultant to Cream Minerals Ltd. Numerous in house reports, discussion papers; notes etc. were used for the compilation of this report. Other relevant information and reports used are generally available in the public domain.
Linda Dandy P.Geo., at the request of Mr. F. A. Lang P.Eng., President of Cream Minerals Ltd, visited the project in January 2007 to give an independent opinion and advice in respect to the field project.

This report discusses the 3,000 m x 150 m Dos Hornos and Veta Tomas Area, two epithermal silver – gold vein and stockwork systems. The precious metal mineralization occurs in ubiquitous northwesterly-aligned structural zones of silica alteration within a core area of about 200 hectares in the central part of two nested caldera structures.
Regionally, the Nuevo Milenio property is situated within an early Miocene volcanic caldera field of the Sierra Madre Occidental Volcanics, which is traversed by the Tepic – Zacoalco rift zone, an En Echelon extensional structural zone forming the boundary zone with the Jalisco block. The Tepic area is overlain by the young volcanics of the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt.
The northwesterly trending mineralized vein structures and stockwork in the district are thought to be conduits for hydrothermal silica-rich solutions containing gold and silver that formed the mineralized quartz veins in the district. Further, these structures are interpreted as being related to the extensional structures, which are thought to be vestiges of crustal fractures, and faults that emitted ash flows to the surface thus forming the host rocks.
The Nuevo Milenio Gold-Silver Property is a Low Sulphidation, epithermal precious metal prospect containing gold-silver mineralization in quartz veins and in quartz stockwork zones within an area of Miocene volcanics in a collapsed caldera structure.
Orientation drilling at the Dos Hornos and Veta Toms, confirmed the presence of precious metal bearing quartz vein – quartz stockwork zones. Drill hole locations were unfavourably sited due to terrain, access and orientation of structures. The intersection of faults, shears, and breccia zones, which are part of the mineralized vein zones, created drill problems and caused poor core recovery.
Diamond Drilling during 2006 – 2007 defined the Dos Hornos structure and identified Veta Tomas, a new zone formerly not explored. The diamond drilling has proven continuity of grade, down dip and along strike. It also explained the poor core recovery caused by brecciation and faulting parallel to the veins.
The following Inferred Mineral Resources are postulated For Dos Hornos Segment 1, 2, and Veta Tomas:
Dos Hornos Segment 1: 2, 132,803 Tonnes Au: 104,583 oz, Ag: 9, 168,652 oz
Dos Hornos Segment 2: 2, 949,215 Tonnes Au: 89,657 oz, Ag: 7, 250,803 oz
Veta Tomas: 1, 246,163 Tonnes Au: 51,344 oz, Ag: 14, 212,287 oz
Total 6, 328,180 Tonnes Au: 245,584 oz Ag: 30, 631,742 oz |
Inferred Mineral Resource 2006 Once Bocas:
11, 590,000 Tonnes, Au: 129,000 oz, Ag: 21, 580,000 oz
TOTAL INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE
DOS HORNOS, VETA TOMAS, ONCE BOCAS:
17,920,000 Tonnes, Au: 374,584oz, Ag: 52, 212,000 oz
The term“Inferred Mineral Resources” is used asdefined, published and adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005:
- 7 -
"An Inferred Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits workings and drill holes."
Uncertainties inherent in the definition are clarified by the CIM definition standard as follows:
"Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. Confidence in the estimate is insufficient to allow the meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability worthy of public disclosure. Inferred Mineral Resources must be excluded from estimates forming the basis of feasibility or other economic studies."
Exploration should be continued by prospecting, mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys along known mineralized structures. Continuation of opening, mapping and sampling of old workings at the Once Bocas and Cerro Chacuaco, combined with additional trenching and Diamond Drilling, to define continuity of grade past the section of the Inferred Mineral Resources is recommended..
The Dos Hornos and Veta Tomas Structure should be tested by underground exploration, - drifting and x-cutting to establish the true width of the indicated Au – Ag mineralization.
Channel sampling across the total 10 m to 20 m mineralized quartz vein – stockwork zone, followed by bulk sampling to establish the true gold – silver tenor is recommended.
A total of US $ 890,000.00 is allocated for the Phase I program consisting of detailed exploration plus underground exploration to establish the gold and silver tenor.
A total of US$ 1,665,000.00 is allocated for a second phase consisting of 8,000 m diamond drilling, Geophysical surveys, and general exploration for the Once Bocas – Cerro Chacuaco area.
The total recommended expenditure are US 2,550,000.00 for Phase I and Phase II.

2.00 INTRODUCTION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE
The objective of this report is to evaluate results of the 2006 and 2007 diamond drill program and to update inferred mineral resources reported in 2006 using all new information available on the Dos Hornos Zone and Veta Tomas zone.
Following the inconclusive diamond drill program executed in 2003 and 2004 a program to re-evaluate all data in the office and double check all known showings in the field was initiated in 2005. Numerous shafts and areas of old workings were discovered and opened. The program was not completed because of financial constrains, butthe results obtained to December 2005 supported the calculation of Inferred Mineral Resources according to the definition adopted by the CIM Council in Dec 2005.
During the first six month of 2006, the work continued and was followed by a diamond drill program centered on the Dos Hornos zone and Veta Tomas zone.
For a more comprehensive description of work completed prior to 2006, the geological setting, and information on the other known mineralized zones located on the Nuevo Milenio property, the reader is referred to the following Reports:

The recent rise of gold and silver prices caused a re-evaluation of all data collected from the Dos Hornos and Once Bocas zones, part of the Nuevo Milenio project. The program was initiated on July15, 2005 and lasted to December 2005. Old adits, x-cuts, and shafts were opened, cleaned, mapped and channel sampled. Topographic sections using chain and compass were surveyed to allow construction of x-sections and longitudinal sections. The fieldwork was completed by December of 2005. All results were incorporated in a NI 43- 101 (Holcapek, Feb 16, 2006) compliant report postulating an Inferred Mineral Resource.
To understand the geological characteristics of epithermal gold – silver deposits located in Nayarit the writer visited numerous old mines, prospects, or showings. He has directed exploration on Mina Miravalle 1987, Bonanza 1987 & 1999, Buena Suerte 1988, Monterey 1988, San Jose 1988, Estrella 1998, Tajo de Oro 1999, La Fenix Prospect 2004 – 2005, Nuevo Milenio 2000 - 2007, All of the above are Epithermal Low Sulphidation gold – silver deposits.
This report (January 20, 2008) is based on the exploration conducted during the period May 2000 to Dec 2007 by Cream Minerals De Mexico S.A. De C.V. The program was executed by Ing German Francisco under supervision of the writer. The 2006 – 2007 work program consisted of geological mapping, opening shafts, road construction and diamond drilling of 35 holes for a total of 6,719.90 m.
A.D. Drummond PhD, P.Eng acted as consultant to Cream Minerals Ltd. Linda Dandy P.Geo., at the request of Mr. F. A. Lang P.Eng., President of Cream Minerals Ltd, visited the project in January 2007 to give an independent opinion and advice in respect to the field project.
The objective of this report is to evaluate the results obtained during the 2006 – 2007 field season, to establish inferred mineral resources and to recommend follow up work, if merited.
3.00 DISCLAIMER: NA
4.00 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The exploration lots were originally denounced by A. Carrera Gamboa on behalf of Cream Minerals De Mexico S.A. De C.V. Title to the lots was transferred in 2003 to the company.
Exploration lots have a life of 6 years and are renewable as exploitation lots that have a 50-year life. Recent Mining Legislation has reclassified all mining lots as Exploration Concessions to simplify the administration of the mining law.
The Nuevo Milenio Mineral project originally consisted of three mineral lots. In June 2005, applications were filed with the Mining Department in Mexico City to reduce the Nuevo Milenio Fr 1 from 4,418.183 Ha to 2,500.000 Ha and to cancel CMM II and I. Map 1 shows the location of the lot within the State of Tepic and Map 2 shows the configuration of the lots. The legal description of the lots is listed below.

5.00 ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND PHYSIOGRAPHY:
The area under discussion is located in the Municipality of Xalisco Nayarit, 20 km as the crow flies southeast of Tepic within the area of Ejido of El Refugio, Trigmill, Pantanal, and La Curva. The property is readily accessible by car from Tepic as follows:
Interval Km Highway # Type of Road
Tepic – Turn off La Curva 17.00 200 Pavement
Entrance La Curva – La Curva 7.00 local Pavement
La Curva – Dos Hornos 3.00 local Dirt road
Total Distance from Tepic 27.00
The climate is warm and humid during April to September (18oto 40o C). June to October is the rainy season during which frequent afternoon showers render secondary roads difficult to traverse. During October to March, the climate is temperate with cool nights.
Tepic is the capital of the State of Nayarit and is a major service and supply center with a population of 300,000 located in an agricultural region. Rental vehicles and heavy machinery are available for exploration operations as well as the work force to operate them.
Air service, railway, and a well-developed highway system (Highway 15 to Mazatlan and Guadalajara, Highway 200 to Puerta Vallarta) make the area easily accessible from any part of the world.
The Tepic valley is a well-developed farming area with sugar cane, maize and blue agaves being the main crops. Mangos, avocados, bananas, and oranges are the main fruit trees. Coffee is cultivated in the mountains. Lush vegetation is typical for this part of the interior highlands of Mexico with abundant tree and bush cover.
Areas covered by flat lying basalt flow and mountainous areas are covered by sparse open stands of oak trees, low bushes and grasses. Valley floors are covered by dense brush, but creek bottoms contain dense jungle like growth requiring clearing with machetes in order to pass.
Arroyo Chacuaco – Cafetal and Arroyo Refillion have water year around. Electric power is available at La Curva and other population centers.
6.00 HISTORY:
In 1524, Captain Francisco Cortes de San Buena Ventura, a representative of Conquistador Hernán Cortez, arrived at the population center of Tepic, Nayarit. He was well received by the Tactoani Indians and presented with gifts of honour, a cup of gold nuggets, and a cup with silver pieces He returned to Colima without extending his control over the area.
In 1531, Nuño de Guzmán, President of the Audience de México, known for his ruthless conquest and cruelty to the indigenous people, arrived in Tepic He extended the Spanish control over the Indians forming the confederation of Chimalhuacán, which was later named “Reino de Nuevo Galicia.” Numerous Indian villages were enslaved and new villages were settled by the Spanish during this period. Compostela became the seat of the Bishop (Capital).
- 12 -
Nuño de Guzmán demanded not only food and supply from the conquered villages, but under the threat of death, gold nuggets, and silver pieces. Lieutenant Peralmindes Chirinos, one of Don Nuño’s officers, visited Jalla, which was located in the mountains to the east. This area was developed into the first “Real de Minas” (Mina Jalla) many years later.
During the early part of the conquest Mina Espiritu Santo, near Compostela was developed into a “Real de Minas.” The exact location of this mine is lost, but tradition suggest it was located NE of Compostela. This is the southern part of the Nuevo Milenio area. Mina Lluvia de Oro lies 4 km to the south and Minas San Francisco 10 km to the south of Nuevo Milenio. Numerous other Spanish mines are known in the area. The area is presently covered by many small mining lots.
At about 1650, the Mines of Miravalle along Rio Huicicilla were found and put into production. These legendary Bonanza Mines produced extremely large amounts of silver. The vein structures cut Jurassic slates and lower Tertiary andesites intruded by acidic rocks. The main vein structure was traced for a distant of about 1.5 km with x – cuts, every 100m driven into the vein. Large collapse feature give evidence of stopping. Several shafts, now full of water were found along the toe of the slopes. Along the river ruins of old buildings “Hacienda Metalurgico” (Ore treatment plant), were found. This area was a major mining center. One of the vein structures is 1 to 3 m wide grading up to 65,000 g/ton Ag (Sampled in 1987, F. Holcapek, W. Strickland).
The main problem in the mines was the shallow water table and the incapability of the early miners to deal with the water. None of the old mines was worked at depth.
During the 1900 century, mining in Nayarit came to a stand still. The Spanish Revolution (1810 to 1825) was followed by the French wars, 30 years of Indian wars and finally the Mexican Revolution that ended in 1920. This period of unrest depopulated the country site. The miners headed for the safety of the cities and all mining knowledge was lost.
ASARCO explored the Huicicila district during the 1930th, Mina Huicicilla and Mina Miravalle located 5 km down stream from the earlier Mina Miravalle. These mines were blasted shut in 1954 by the company when operation ceased due to a labour dispute.
The old high-grade mining areas in Nayarit were little investigated. The main reason was absences of geological and mining information, abundance of small exploration or production lots in areas of reported past mining, and reputation of the area for narrow high-grade bonanza type veins, which are not a priority for international Mining Companies.
During 1987 to 1999, the writer investigated the area for the Lang Mining Group (Cream Minerals Ltd), but a large lot covered the area of interest. The owners did not conduct exploration on the property. It was a wait and see situation.
A visit in February 2000 showed that the area was free for denouncement and several of the small lots had been cancelled. In February 2000, Arnoldo Carrera G. was engaged to denounce the area on behalf of Cream Minerals De Mexico.
From June to November 2000, Ing Marcus Alberto Ruiz was in charge of phase 1 of the fieldwork for Cream Minerals De Mexico S.A. De C.V. The work program consisted of construction of access road, tractor trenching of the Dos Hornos, Once Bocas and Mina San Miguel, channel sampling, geochemical soil sampling, prospecting and geological mapping.

In December 2001 Andy Carstensen, Geological Consultant, was engaged to report on the merits of the project. His findings were summarized in the Report “Nuevo Milenio Property Visit, prepared for Cream Minerals De Mexico S.A. De .V. by A. Carstensen”.
Based on his recommendation the focus of exploration was shifted to search for areas of possible disseminated gold – silver with bulk tonnage potential.
From December 2001 to July 2002 the writer and three helpers, continued regional mapping, prospecting, cleaning of old Spanish workings, followed by rock geochemistry in areas of “silica caps.” Dr. A.D. Drummond PhD, P. Eng., the Companies Consultant, visited the project to advise on the execution of the program, and to assist with the interpretation of data.
In July 2002 a preliminary drill program, consisting of five diamond drill holes for a total of 725 m drilling HQ and BQ core was completed at Once Bocas, Cerro Chacuaco, and Chacuaco West.
In September 2003 Hank Meixner, P.Geo was engaged by Cream Minerals Ltd to conduct a property examination and to produce a report in compliance with NI 43-101 and NI 43-101 F to be used as a supporting document to be filed with the British Columbia Security Commission and the TSX Venture Exchange. This document was filed on Oct 23, 2003.
During 2003, additional detail work including cleaning of old workings, shafts and adits, was conducted on Cerro Chacuaco and a summary of all data was compiled. During this period, regional mapping and prospecting was expanded to cover Lot CMM 1, CMM 2 and the northern limits of Nuevo Milenio 1. A second diamond drill program consisting of 19 holes for a total of 3,576 m was initiated in November 2003 and completed by April 2004. The results of both drill programs were inconclusive. Faulting, shearing, and poor drill core recovery did not allow interpretation of drill data.
Following the rise in gold and silver prices, detailed investigations of the higher-grade vein and stock-work zones was initiated in July 2005 with the objective to re-evaluate economic potential of the Dos Hornos North and Once Bocas zones. During the evaluation period, numerous old Spanish workings, suspected to exist, were located. The workings were opened, cleaned, mapped and channel sampled on both the Dos Hornos North and Once Bocas.
The new information obtained from the underground workings, surface trenches and geological data in combination with diamond drill information from the 2002 and 2003 diamond drill program allow the following inferred Mineral Resources to be postulated (See NI 43 – 101 dated February 16, 2006 by F. Holcapek, P.Eng.)
TOTAL INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE DOS HORNOS AND ONCE BOCAS:
Dos Hornos: 1, 530,000 Tonnes, Au: 139,000 oz, Ag: 8, 760,000 oz
Once Bocas 11, 590,000 Tonnes, Au: 129,000 oz, Ag: 21, 580,000 oz
Total 13, 120,000 Tonnes, Au: 268,000 oz, Ag: 30, 340,000 oz
During 2006, detailed geological mapping on Dos Hornos, Cerro Chacuaco, and Once Bocas led to a better understanding of the structural configuration of the mineralized zone. In June 2006 road construction and drill pad construction was initiated and a 2000 m HQ diamond drill contract was signed.
Drilling started in October 2006 and lasted until August 2007 a total of 6,965.4 m of HQ diamond drilling was completed. All drilling was concentrated along the Dos Hornos.

7.00 GEOLOGICAL SETTING
7.10 REGIONAL SETTING
The Nuevo Milenio project lies within the Sub province of the “Sierras Neovolcánicas” Nayarit, which is part of the Cenozoic Trans –Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB). The TMVB is a broad west sloping volcanic plateau formed by polygenetic stratavolcanoes, monogenetic volcanoes and cinder cones, caldera complexes, explosion craters and Maarens with associated volcanic flows and pyroclastic deposits.
The average elevation of the plateau is 2,300 m in the eastern part, 1,600 m in the central and 1,000 m in the western part (Nayarit).
The volcanoes in Nayarit represent three distinctive groups:
1.
Rhyolitic volcanism initiated during the Upper Cretaceous (70 to 40 million years) related to the Laramide Orogeny and continued intermittently to 23 million years. These volcanic periods deposited felsic tuffs and flows with associated andesitic rocks that are represented by the Lower Volcanic Group. The large regional fault zones and compressive stress developed at this time to the east was associated with the subduction of the Fallaron Plate under the western part of México.
2.
Primarily andesitic volcanism continued, but changed from 23 to 12 million years to rhyolitic composition forming, first the Sierra Madre Occidental to 12million years, and later developing the rift and graben structures and the young faults.
3.
The Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt formed during late Miocene (11 Ma) and consists chiefly of andesitic to dacitic volcanic rocks and active volcanoes, extending across Mexico. It starts at the Pacific in Nayarit and terminates at the Atlantic. The original orientation was NW, but changed to E – W with the realignment of the East Pacific Plate at about 10 Ma to 5 Ma. The development of the Neovolcanic Belt is continuing to date with the active subduction of the Cocos Plate under Mexico.
The Tepic Zacoalco Rift consists of several fault zones of different ages and direction with extensional tectonic still active to day.
·
Listric Faults (N20W to N35W) north of Tepic belong to the Gulf Province.
·
En Echelon Grabens (N50W) between Compostela and Guadalajara, which reactivated the boundary between the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Jalisco Block (4.5 to 2.3 million years)
·
South verging half grabens (N70W to N50W) located inside of the Jalisco Block (11.9 to 9? Million years)
·
Faults at Lake Chapala and at the coast NW of Compostela (N70W to N80W)
The Nuevo Milenio project lies within theTepic Zacoalo rift, north of the Compostela – Ceboruco graben. The Rift is characterized by active alkali volcanism and about 1 mm/year extension. Net extension across the rift has been estimated at 4% to 8% (Barrier and others 1990) since formation. Within the Valley of Tepic, several volcanoes and numerous calderas can be recognized on satellite maps.
The City of Tepic lies in part within Caldera de Valle dated as 40 Ma, which is the oldest caldera in the region. Caldera Santa Maria del Oro and Caldera Sanganguey lie to the north of Caldera la Curva.
The writer has visited the following old mining areas within the general district of Nuevo Milenio. All are associated with rifting, grabens, regional fault structures and/or rhyolite domes in a volcanic terrain.

7.20 LOCAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING:
Cream Minerals Nuevo Milenio Property covers the southern part of Caldera Sanganguey and the elliptical La Curva Caldera, which has an estimated NW axis of 6 km and a NE axis of 5 km. The smaller Nuevo Milenio Calder, about 4.5 x3.5 km, is nestled into La Curva Caldera with common boundaries along the SE limits.
To the East several small Calderas are indicated. Caldera Llano Grande and Caldera Dos Amigos are located east and south of Nuevo Milenio. To the southeast several crater lakes, give evidence to recent volcanic collapse features.
TheTepic - Zacoalco Rift forms the northern boundary of the property and theCompostela – Ceboruco graben lies to the south. No Government or other geological data is available for this area in general and for the area around Tepic in particular. The compilation of the geology in cross-section is based on regional mapping and prospecting by Ing. Alberto Marcus Ruiz and the writer and is an attempts to illustrates the regional geological environment of the Nuevo Milenio property.
The volcanic sequences here, as elsewhere throughout the Sierra Madre Occidental, are of the Lower Volcanic Supergroup, which are overlain by the Upper Volcanic Supergroup. The rhyolite tuffs designated as Trtn and Trt, Tr on the section are believed to be Upper Volcanic Supergroup.
Within the Caldera Nuevo Milenio, all rocks predating basalt and rhyolites are affected by intense hydrothermal activities. These altered rocks host all known mineralization. Rock units exposed are flat lying. Along the Caldera Rim, banded rhyolites form variably dipping outflow sheets (dip controlled by paleo topography).
The same holds true for the basaltic outflow sheets. The lower contact is unconformable and is a zone several meter thick showing, regoliths, clay layers, conglomerates and baking of the underlying rocks.
7.30 STRUCTURAL SETTING:
On the Nuevo Milenio, mineralized vein faults and faults, are in general, parallel to the trend of theTepic - Zacoalco Rift and other Regional Faults.Quartz veins and Stockwork zones appear to follow old fracture – fault systems related to the formation of grabens and half grabens. These vein faults have been reactivated several times as shown by breccia zones, gouge and mylonite zones.
Quartz stockwork and Silica flooding have re-healed breccia and mylonite – gouge zones. The age relationship and sense of the displacement of different fault sets, on the local level, is similar to the regional level.
Surface mapping in combination with diamond drilling and mapping of underground workings has established that the area of Dos Hornos and Once Bocas is traversed by numerous faults with some having appreciable displacement. The overall effect of faulting is to cut the vein zones into segments 300 m to 450 m long. The following are the main fault directions, ordered in accordance to relative age, from the latest to the earliest:
1.
Fault Set 1 at N80W/75S – the faults are parallel about 300 m apart and appear to be the youngest set. They are reverse faults with horizontal displacement in the order of 310 m SE. Vertical displacement appears to be about 220 m magnitude.
- 19 -
2.
Fault Set 2 at N70 E/60S – they are also parallel faults and about 200 m apart. They are normal fault with horizontal displacement in the order of about 330 m SW. Net effect of the movement along the 2 faults is about 100 m SW.
3.
Fault Set 3 N25 to 35W/70S Faults – these faults are parallel or at small angle to the quartz zone. Diamond drilling showed that they are normal faults and cut the quartz zone producing repetition of the quartz veins in the vertical sense. Displacement is in the order of 30 to 60 m. This displacement is apparent and depends on the dip of the fault structure within the plane of the drill section.
4.
Fault Set 3 N52W/80S – this fault direction was encountered in DDH 07 – 26 and is the reason for extensive brecciation. It is a reverse fault, but maximum movement is 30 m in the vertical plane. The horizontal displacement is not known.
5.
The movement along Fault Set 1 and Fault set 2 are in opposite direction both in the horizontal and vertical plane and have a tendency to cancel each other and/or produce a small, net displacement.

STRATIGRAPHY:
Ø
Basalt Flow (Tb) – Dark green, massive to blocky flow. Along contact with flow-banded rhyolites, chilling produced obsidian bands and nodules.
Ø
Basalt Stocks(Tb) – intrusive basalt in vent areas light green to glassy when intruding rhyolite flow sheet. Devitrification and spherulitic texture is evident along contact.
Ø
Upper Lithic Tuff (Trtu)– Rhyolitic Lithic tuffs with abundant coarse-grained clear quartz eyes approx. 30 meter thick. Alteration is present east of the Cafetal area. Here hornblende ghosts are present and the rocks are largely comprised of quartz, clays, sericite, and hematite.
Ø
Rhyolite Intrusive, ExtrusiveDevitrified (Tr) – Flow banded, spherulitic in bands, devitrified, opalized rhyolite with quartz eyes. The unit forms domes, dykes, and local flows. The rocks intrude and define the limit of the La Curva Caldera. No devitrification or Opalization was observed in intrusions located along the rim of Caldera Nuevo Milenio.
Ø
Fine Volcanic Ash – The unit is greyish in color, steeply dipping in places, silicified showing strong exfoliation roses. It was found at Domo Dragon as isolated outcrops.
Ø
Lacustrine Deposits- Thin-bedded sedimentary rocks, graded bedding intensely silicified, and pyritized. The unit was found at Cerro Chacuaco, is recessive weathering, and hence the distribution of the unit is not known
Ø
Rhyolite Lithic Tuff(Trtc) - The tuff contains quartz eyes, lithic fragments are typically a quartz-bearing welded lapilli tuff. It is unclear if the unit was vented from the La Curva caldera or is later. It is the host for mineralization.
Ø
Rhyolitic Tuff (Trtn) - Non-welded, intensely clay altered, texturally destroyed, and recessive weathering, possible acid leaching generated by weathering of sulphides. It differs from the lithic tuff unit by its lack of quartz eyes. This unit may host bulk gold – silver deposits.

7.50 ERUPTIVE CENTERS AND DOMES WITHIN THE CALDERA:
Lot Nuevo Milenio covers the whole of the La Curva caldera including the smaller internal Nuevo Milenio Caldera. Rhyolitic domes, dykes, and associate outflow sheetsoriginate along the caldera rim and define the rim zone. Basaltic flows originate from individual late volcanic eruptive centers.
BASALTIC CENTERS:
Eruptions of basalt lava flows mark the latest volcanic episode within the district. Two individual basaltic centers have been recognized within the area of Lot Nuevo Milenio.
1.
Volcán Media Luna:A basalt vent, straddles both the rim of Caldera La Curva and the Rim of Caldera Sanganguey. The basalt flows and associated obsidian ,cover the devitrified rhyolite flows and silicified lithic tuff units. At lower elevations, along ridges, the basalt forms erosional outliers.
2.
Basaltic Eruptive Center along the East Flank of Cerro Bartolo:This Centre is indicated by thick flows overlaying the rhyolite out flow sheet to the east, along the access road to Mina Guadalupana. It extent all the way down into Arroyo Cafetal and is bisected by Arroyo Refillion.
RHYOLITE DOMES AND ERUPTIVE CENTERS:
Rhyolitic domes and/or rhyolitic ring dykes have been identified along caldera rims. All known opal mines are associated with devitrified flow banded rhyolites associated within domes or rhyolitic outflow sheets.
1.
El Dragon Rhyolite Domelies due north of Mina Zapote across a deep arroyo (Rim of Nuevo Milenio Caldera). The dome rises above the surrounding rim. Strong vertical jointing is exposed along the flank. No devitrification or Opalization was observed.
2.
The Esmeralda Dome is located along the western flank of Volcán Media Luna, a late stage Basalt Vent (Caldera La Curva to the South). Devitrification of rhyolites produces precious opal and chalcedonic bands.
3.
Guadalupana Domeunderlies Cerro San Bartolo, the highest mountain along the Caldera Rim.Three individual opal mines stretching nearly 700 m along the contours are located within the devitrified rhyolites. Rhyolitic outflow sheet cover part of the ridge.
RING DYKES, MOATS, AND MEGA BRECCIA:
1.
El Dragon Rhyolite Ring Dyke outcrops along a northwest trending ridge (Elev. 1080 to 1250 m). This represents the north rim of the Nuevo Milenio Caldera. The rhyolite shows flow banding, dipping steeply to the west. No sign of Opalization is evident but kaolinization is strong. In places, outliers of basalt cover the rhyolite flow rocks and intrusive.
2.
Ring Dyke north of the El Dragon along the north part of La Curva Caldera. The hill is covered by flow - banded rhyolite that has been affected by kaolinization. Outliers of basalt sheet flows cover the higher ridges.
3.
Land Slide Deposits or Mega Brecciaoutcrops near the El Dragon Rhyolite Dome defining a moat zone. The Rock fragments are up to 2 feet across and are a mixture of all rock types, except basalt fragments. Basalt was found as outliers along the top of the ridge within 50 m of the mega breccia outcrop.
- 23 -
4.
North of Dos Hornos and Once Bocasrhyolitic flow rubble, along the Basalt contact with lithic tuffs, suggest rhyolite dykes or small rhyolite domes being buried under the basalt sheet.At Mina Zapotethe NW extension of the quartz stockwork zone is covered by flow-banded rhyolites.
7.60
ALTERATION AND ZONATION AT NUEVO MILENIO:
Within the confines of Caldera Nuevo Milenio and Caldera La Curva all rocks have been affected by hydrothermal alteration. The alteration characteristics, as observed in the field, suggest a Low Sulphidation Epithermal system. Shallow acid leaching, near the paleo – surface, affecting rhyolitic lithic tuffs is evident.
The alteration has been identified with a hand lens. Zoning from what appears to be low temperature or distal, to higher temperature or proximal alteration, to the hydrothermal centers was observed in the vertical and horizontal planes.
1)
Supergene Oxidation was super imposed on the hydrothermal alteration assemblage. In several areas, intense argillic alteration with porcellanous lenses or veinlets, suggest the presence of alunite formed by shallow acid leaching indicating sulphides below the water table.
2)
Opalization - is caused by devitrification of flow banded rhyolite sheets, domes or dykes intruding along the caldera boundary. Opalization occurs preferentially with spherulitic bands, open spaces and along flow boundaries.
3)
Chalcedonic Silicification -forms strata bound silica caps along several northwest trending ridges. Very fine sulphides have been found associated with these rocks. Micro breccia has been observed at Salamandria. It appears to be a lower temperature silica cap, produced by acid leaching. The underlying porous lithic tuffs may host disseminated mineralization. No quartz veining and no Au – Ag values were encountered.
4)
Silicification, Chalcedony and quartz veining,both sugary textured and chalcedonic quartz, are present. It is normally exposed as a capping along topographic highs from 40 to 60 m above the quartz veins or quartz stockwork exposures. The underlying partially welded lithic tuffs are well- fractured and conducive to producesQuartz veining and quartz stockwork. High Ag – Au values were found within fractures or within quartz veins or brecciation in chalcedony. Indications are that silicification may be superimposed on the top part of possible quartz vein zones and stockwork zones. Existing precious metal values will not be removed by the superimposition of Silicification or acid leaching.
5)
Argillization - Recessive weathering, non-welded lithic tuffs surrounds the hills capped by chalcedonic – silica. Intense clay alteration destroyed all primary texture, open spaces, quartz druses; limonitic filling along hairline fractures and sulphide boxwork suggests possible mineralization. The rock is white and on fresh breaks powdery.
6)
Kaolinization (Clay alteration) -is the most widespread alteration style within the Nuevo Milenio Caldera affecting the lithic rhyolite tuffs. Rocks are white to tan and in many cases texturally destroyed only the quartz eyes remain of the original lithology. Abundant pyrite is associated with kaolinized rocks as noted on mine dumps. The intensity of kaolinization depends on the spatial position within the hydrothermal system. The zone is in part covered by basalt. Kaolinization may overprint higher temperature alteration assemblages directly related to mineralization due to surface weathering.
- 24 -
The wide spread kaolinization observed on the Nuevo Milenio creates problems in the differentiation betweensupergene kaolinization – caused by surface weathering andkaolinizationcaused by epithermal activities.This is referred to as “The advanced Argillic problem” by Silitoe R.H. 1994.
Advanced Argillic (Clay) alteration can be produced by three settings:
1.
Deep hypogene advanced argillic alteration is produced by condensation of acidic magmatic volatiles and dissolution of condensates in meteoric water. It is capable of producing precious metal deposits.
2.
Shallow hypogene acid leaching caused by condensates and adsorption of boiled off volatiles and subsequent oxidation of H2S in the vadose zone.
3.
Supergene alteration caused by oxidation of sulphides above the water table.
Both Deep hypogene and shallow hypogene argillic alteration may overlie or over print precious metal mineralization.The three types of advanced argillic alteration are identical under the microscope and X-Ray diffraction analysis. They have distinct textural differences, which may be identified with the hand lens in the field.
7.70 ALTERATION AND ZONATION DOS HORNOS:
Along the Dos Hornos – Veta Tomas structure quartz veining and epithermal alteration has been traced for a combined distance of more than 2,000 m. The following changes in alteration were observed, starting at the southern rhyolite flows going to the northwest:
At Santa Gertrudis – Veta Tomas (1,180 m elev.), Chalcedonic quartz, silica flooding and kaolinization form an envelope around the structures. The old workings are within the chalcedonic section. The surrounding area is overburden covered. A 100 m wide zone shows quartz float and numerous old trenches and shafts in which quartz veins are exposed.
Mina San Miguel and Cordon Dos Hornos form the central part of Dos Hornos – Veta Tomas zone. Extensive weathering is evident along the road cuts at Mina San Miguel. Kaolinization, caused by supergene overprinting (?) and linear silica replacement along structural zones, are the only alteration types observed. DDH19-03 was drilled to cut Mina San Miguel (elev. 1,220 m) quartz veining and quartz stockwork zone at depth. The quartz – stockwork zone was intersected. The host rocks are rhyolitic lithic and lapilli tuffs. Alteration consists of sericite – kaolin associated with silica flooding.
Cordon Dos Hornos is at elevation 1,300 m to 1,340 m; it is covered by an epithermal, horizontally banded silica cap that is unconformable overlain by banded rhyolite flows. The banding and texture of the silica cap suggest it was deposited from hydrothermal solution interacting with the paleo - ground water table. Samples collected from the silica cap showed low Au – Ag content. It is underlain by kaolinized lithic tuffs cut by quartz veining as exposed in Shaft 11 and Shaft 12.
Dos Hornos North is at an elevation 1,100 m the outcropping parallel quartz vein system is about 200 m lower than the Cordon Dos Hornos Silica cap.Wall rock alteration consists of silica flooding, kaolinization, sericite, and pyritization. Euhedral white feldspar (Adularia?) occurs within the quartz veins. All feldspar crystals in the altered tuffs are completely kaolinized. Quartz pseudo morphs after calcite and/or barite were observed.
- 25 -
Within the drill core the following type of alterations were recognized along the mineralized structures:
1.
Massive kaolinization near surface that appears to be caused by Weathering obliterates all rock textures or primary minerals.
2.
Silicification as silica impregnation of tuffs filling pores, fractures and/or cavities.
3.
Propylithic alteration consisting of epidote, chlorite some silicification, and disseminated pyrite or pyrite as veinlets along fractures or within fault gouge and breccia.
4.
Silica flooding and replacement of matrix and as spider web of hairline quartz veinlets.
5.
Silica flooding associated with sericite and euhedral white Feldspar (Adularia?).
6.
Phyllic alteration consists of sericite – argillic clay minerals and silica flooding, plus or minus white feldspar as phenocrysts.
7.
Argillic alteration, consisting of crystalline clay minerals with alteration quartz veining, and minor sericite forms the inner core of the alteration zone.
8.00 DEPOSIT TYPE:
Au – Ag mineralization is localized along structural zones associated with volcanic related hydrothermal to geothermal systems as vein deposits or dissemination within the wall rock. The low sulphide content, gangue mineralogy, combined with an alteration zones consisting of vuggy vein quartz, bladed quartz crystals after calcite and/or barite, silica flooding, chalcedony, kaolinization (argillic), sericite and adularia (white feldspar as euhedral crystals) identifies the Nuevo Milenio as a Low Sulphidation, Epithermal Mineral target for Au – Ag exploration.
Characteristics observed on the Nuevo Milenio Project are typical of Au – Ag Low Sulphidation (sericite–adularia) Epithermal Mineral Deposits; This genetic Model has been described in the literature by numerous authors.
9.00 MINERALIZATION
Gold – Silver mineralization, as delineated by the exploration program, is centered in the southern part of Caldera Nuevo Milenio. The mineralized zones occur within a 2 km by 3 km area and consist of the Dos Hornos - Veta Tomas zone 200 m x 3000m, Once Bocas 100 m x 1,500 m, Chacuaco – Cafetal average of 250 m x 1,500m and Chacuaco west.
Other known mineralized areas, but not explored are El Zapote, Astasis 1, Astasis 2, San Antonio and Mina Tahona.
The dominant host rocks are rhyolitic lithic tuffs and rhyolitic lapilli tuffs. All rock exposures and rocks in drill core show varying degrees of alteration. The rock units are silicified, or affected by argillic alteration obliterating the original mineralogy and textures with only quartz eyes surviving.
- 26 -
Silicification and quartz veining is usually related to structural zones. Brecciation is prominently associated with sulphide mineralization and quartz veining. From the mineralized structures outward, the intensity of alteration decreases from a sericitic – argillic – silica (phyllic) assemblage to epidote – chlorite as indicated in drill core. On surface supergene, kaolinization is superimposed on epithermal alteration.
Topographic highs (Cordon Dos Hornos, Once Bocas South, Salamandria, Mina Victoria etc. are covered by a horizontally banded silica cap, typical of epithermal systems reaching the surface. Cordon Dos Hornos and Once Bocas South carry gold and silver value as shown by rock and soil samples.
The steeply dipping zones of structurally controlled silica flooding are interpreted as hydrothermal feeder zones along which solution percolated. These zones may change downwards into quartz veins (blind veins). Sulphide minerals identified are Silver minerals, pyrite, and occasional galena crystal. Secondary minerals are limonite, hematite, minor malachite, and pyrolusite as smears, coating or fracture and cavity filling. Gangue is quartz, quartz pseudo morph after calcite and/or barite. White feldspar (Adularia?), sericite, and clay minerals were observed in breccia zone.
Quartz veins show banding, open space filling and are spongy to massive in textures. Multistage brecciation is common within mineralized zones and is related to faults trending parallel to the veins. In hand, specimens up to five stages of silica introduction were identified.
To clarify the effect of weathering, oxidation of sulphides and leaching of metal values, a suite of specimens was collected from the area of Chacuaco Creek by Dr. A.D. Drummond, P. Eng., the Company’s consultant and writer. The sample suite was collected from different location with some from areas that are flooded during the rainy season

The iron percentage decreases (oxidation of pyrite) with intensity of leaching, as does the percent of sulphur. The arsenic content, which may be associated with the silver minerals, also decreases with increasing intensity of leaching or weathering. From the above it is clear that weathering, oxidation, and leaching are depleting gold and silver value from surface.
9.10 DOS HORNOS GENERAL:
Dos Hornos is a north-westerly trending zone up to 100 m wide and plus 2,000 m long of at least 4 parallel, bifurcating quartz veins and quartz stockwork displaced by NW and NE trending faults. Maximum relief along strike is estimated as 280 m. The strike of the structure varies from N to N35W.
From Arroyo Guadalupana south to Cordon Dos Hornos – Mina Santa Gertrudis, a distance of 1,200 m, is the area with most old Spanish workings. Recent trenching, drilling and channel sampling was concentrated in this area.
The surface expression of this part of the Dos Hornos is a blanket of quartz rubble with the occasional sub outcrops. The first part from the creek to the road was explored intensely by the Spaniards. Shafts, adits, and old hand cuts give evidence to their efforts. Several planillas, ore sorting areas, and well-constructed mule trails suggest ore was transported to a treatment centre.
Underground workings show little caving. Rocks exposed in the workings show intense oxidation, brecciation, faulting, and gouge zones. Alteration exposed within channels cleaned for sampling consists of minor sericite, crystalline argillic clay minerals with silica flooding. Limonite and clay as fracture filling is wide spread and associated with brecciation, shearing, and faulting. Pyrite as sulphides, hematite staining, possible dark grey silver minerals (very fine) plus minor boxwork after sulphides was seen. The walls are muck and oxide covered.
Diamond drilling showed that the core recovery is poor in the broken, brecciated, mineralized zone varying from 20 % to 80%.
Sulphide minerals identified are Silver minerals, pyrite, occasional galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. Secondary minerals identified are hematite, manganese oxides, occasional malachite, and rare covelite. Gangue is quartz, quartz pseudo morph after calcite and/or barite, sericite, clay minerals and white feldspar.
To facilitate the discussion the Dos Hornos Zone is discussed in the context of individual fault segments and in respect to diamond drill section starting at Arroyo Guadalupana and going south.
The main mineralized zone has an indicated with of 10m to 20 m and consists of quartz vein, quartz stockwork, faults gouge and quartz breccia and zones of silica flooding. Brecciation, gouge zones
- 28 -
numerous splay veins and cross veins are characteristic of Dos Hornos. Within this zone four quartz veins - stockwork zone are evident. Theses veins can form a composite mineralized zone of higher grade from 8 m to 14 m wide as indicated by diamond drilling, x-cuts and tractor trenching. In hand, specimens it is nearly impossible to differentiate ore grade from barren rock.
A.
Veta 1 is about 2.00 m wide and lies along the southwest side of the structure. The vein merges with vein 2 forming sections of mineralization up to 10.00 m wide in places.
B.
Veta 2 forms the core of the mineralized section. It is 2 to 6 m wide of good grade and surrounded by lower grade material.
C.
Veta 3 is 4.00 m to 6.00 m from Vein 2 in the northeast part of the vein zone. It consists of a quartz stockwork zone to 2m wide carrying good gold values in places. Low core recovery from diamond drilling makes it difficult to follow.
D.
Veta 4 is located approximately 20 m southwest of Vein 1. It was encountered by diamond drilling.
E.
Veta 5 is a 2 m wide high gold zone it was identified in DDH 11 – 06 only. A quartz breccia zone exposed at drill pad of DDH 10 – 06 appears to be the surface expression of the vein.

Diamond drilling shows that:
1.
Several sub-parallel faults cutting the mineralized zone. These faults move the FW side up in respect to the HW side. The net effect of the displacement causes repetition of the mineralized zone.
2.
Where the drill hole cuts the fault – minerals zone intersection, breccia, gouge and quartz sand constitute the drill core and recovery may drop to 20 % of the core with gold – silver assays correspondingly lower.
3.
Width of the zone in diamond drill core varies between 8.00 m to 24 m, depending on core recovery and structural setting. Width in Tractor trenches 1 to 3 and in the x-cut adit 4 varies from 10.70 m (x-cut) to 18.00 m in Trench 3.
4.
The wide mineralized sections are composed of quartz stockwork having a low Au – Ag content and multiple parallel quartz veins from1.5 m to 4.00 m wide
5.
The adits, drifts, sub – levels and shafts have a width from 1.25m to 2.00 m maximum. Segment 1 of Dos Hornos has a strike length of 320 m.
Dos Hornos Section 1includes DDH 17 – 03, DDH 01 – 06, DDH 04 – 06, Adit 1, Adit 2, X-cut Adit 4, Shaft 2 and Trench 1. It is bounded to the north by a N80W/75SW fault, which displaces the northern part.

SECTION 2 is based on DDH 18 – 03, DDH 14 – 06,shaft 3 and shaft 4.
Poor core recovery in the drill holes affected the grade. Samples derived from the drill pad of DDH 18 – 03 are of poor quality – intense kaolinization and surface weathering suggest depletion of values. The overall effect on Inferred Mineral Resource Block 2 is to lower the grade substantial.
DDH 18 – 03intersected the structure, but within the mineralized section core recovery was very poor (possible old workings under Shaft 4). The intersected mineralized zone has an indicated width of 8 m that is comparable to Trench 1 and x-cut adit 4, but lower in grade.
Poor core recovery in breccia gouge zones. Two, 2 m section of good grade were cut representing the high-grade zone encountered in channel sampling.

DDH 02 – 06 intersected five 2 m zones forming the Dos Hornos structure. Four of the zones are have a composite width of 14 m of mineralized quartz veins and stockwork.
A comparison with channel samples from the sublevels above shows that gold values are drastically lower and silver are of the same magnitude but trench 2 channel samples show much higher gold values and

lower silver values. This is anticipated because of intense kaolinization, leaching of silver due to surface weathering.

DDH 07 – 34 intersected the first quartz vein - stockwork zone at 135.50 m to 139.50 m within the FW of a semi parallel fault. Core recovery was in the order of 50%. The structural configuration suggests that this is a duplicated segment of the Dos Hornos structure.
From 187.30 193.60 quartz veining was intersected within a fault – quartz breccia – gouge zone. Core recovery was 50%. This appears to be repetition of the mineralization intersected in DDH 02 – 06.
From 183.80 m to 188.80 m, recovery was in the order of 20 % over a 5 m section showing faulting, breccia, and gouge with low silver values. This is part of the Dos Hornos zone

DDH 10 – 06 was located to intersect the whole width of zone 1. It was spotted about 30 m west of Trench 4. The hole cut mineralization from 12.50 m to 40.50 m a distance of 28 m, which is a comparable width to other wide sections. The Diamond drill section shows several intersections of the quartz veins with the last 2 intersection are lower grade but also within fault zone. Near the fault intersection gouge, breccia and faulting causes poor core recovery and hence lower grades.

DDH 11 – 06 was drilled to the southwest to check the possibility of the mineralized zone to extend to the west of the drill pad of DDH 10 -06 and to test a quartz breccia zone exposed in a rock cut.
The drill hole intersected, as DDH 10 – 06 shows several intersections of the quartz veins – 11.30 to 31.30 m – 20 m wide, 43.70 to 47.70 m - 4m wide, and from 59.20 to 61.20m – 2 m wide.
Underground sampling will be required to establish the true grade of all sections. Near the fault intersection gouge, breccia and faulting causes poor core recovery and hence lower grades.

DDH 16 – 06 cut the quartz vein zone. Faulting, breccia and gouge are prominent within the core. Core recovery is variable but in general lower within the mineralized section. The drill hole was spotted within the FW zone of the mineralized structure because of rugged topography hence it is not clear if the drill hole cut the whole or only part of the mineralized zone.

Section 11: Both DDH 07 – 28 and DDH 07- 29 are located in this section. Access is very difficult and steep slopes dipping parallel to the inclination of the drill holes caused difficulties
DDH 07 – 28 was drill S60 W, at - 45 degrees to test the area below the silicified cap of rhyolitic tuffs. Intense faulting associated with breccia and gouge zone was encountered. No significant gold – silver mineralization was intercept, but the presence of quart fragments, quartz sand in gouge zone suggest the continuation of the mineralized zone.

DDH 07–29 was drill at S30W, at - 45 degree to test the topography high of Creston Dos Hornos, which is not accessible because of topography. The drill hole was drilling at a small angle to a fault plane. It intersected two segments containing breccia fragment of quartz. It intersected the N52W/80 S fault. The geological setting suggest reverse movement i.e. HW up in respect to FW. This move is the same than the N80W/75 S fault. No significant assays were encountered.

Section 12: This section was explored by DDH 07 – 26 and DDH 07 – 27 both located on top of Creston Dos Hornos. A N80W/70S fault passes through this area, but it was intersected by neither drill holes suggesting that that both intersected the mineralized zone within the FW of the Fault.
Shaft 12 is located at elevation 1320 m and within the HW of the N80W/70S Fault. The structural setting suggests the mineralized quartz vein sunk on is part of Veta Tomas. The shaft has an average width of 1.30 m and is 4 m deep. Walls are rhyolite tuffs kaolinized and cut by quartz veining. Leaching due to oxidation of sulphides is indicated.

Veta Tomas was identified by several scattered outcrops. The structure lies 230 m west of Dos Hornos and outcrops at Arroyo Norte, Shaft 6, and Shaft 7 - fault Segment 1. At trench 3 an isolated segment 1 of Veta Tomas was cut by DDH 02 – 03 at 82 m to 95 m. This segment was moved opposite Dos Hornos 2, HW of N70E/60S fault – Veta Tomas lies in the FW of the same fault.
Shaft 11 is located along Creston Dos Hornos in the FW of a N80W/70S fault. It is the only known exposure of fault Segment 2 of Veta Tomas.
Shaft 12, Mina San Miguel and Mina Santa Gertrudis are located in Segment 3 of Veta Tomas. It was moved 230 m SE from Shaft 11 along the trace of Dos Hornos Segment 2.
Section 13 - DDH 21 – 06 cuts the Dos Hornos zone in the FW of the fault but DDH 20 – 06 intersected Veta Tomas in the HW of the fault.
DDH 20 -06 passes through the fault from the FW into the HW intersecting Veta Tomas, which was moved SE on strike with the Dos Hornos Zone. This is the same zone explored by Mina San Miguel and Mina Santa Gertrudis.

Section 14 -both DDH 18 -06 and DDH19 -03 are with the section but cut the section at different angles. Mina San Miguel lies along this section. . Sampling of Mina San Miguel was hampered by a thick coat of secondary silica deposited by circulating ground water on the walls.
Both diamond drill holes cut the mineralized zone. DDH 18 – 06 was located to test Mina San Miguel at depth and to confirm result from DDH 19 – 03.
DDH 19 – 03 was located along the road just east of the adit. It hit the mineralized zone but at the time was insufficient data available to interpret the results.
Both drill holes cut the mineralized section, which is up to10 m wide, with a higher-grade core being 4 to 6 m wide

Section 17lies near the next N80W/70S fault. DDH 22- 06 cuts multiple sets of faults dipping at 50 degree to the core axis. The quartz veins and stockwork cut by these fault are brecciated, gougy and fragmented resulting in poor core recovery.
Assaying returned no significant values because of core losses and washing of core, but the structure continues to the FW of the fault.

Mina Santa Gertrudis, located between DDH 22 – 06 to the NW and DDH 19 – 06 to the SE, is exposed in a deep Creek cut. A N80S/70S fault passes through this area. The high-grade assays and characteristic of the mineralized structure suggest that the mine is located in the FW of the Fault (erosional window) and is part of Veta Tomas.
A large open cut, shafts, and sorted ore piles gives evidence of limited past production. Intense silica flooding, brecciation and sulphides forms the footwall of a NW trending weakly argillic – silicified zone of lithic tuffs. Several stages of brecciation are indicated. The sample below is a chip sample from the workings.

9.50 VETA SANTA GERTRUDIS:
Between DDH 22 – 06 and DDH 19 – 06 another of the N80W/ 70S faults cuts Veta Tomas displacing the vein zone to the SE. The vein structure was tested by DDH 19 - 06, DDH 07 – 25 old shafts and trenches. It was named Veta Santa Gertrudis. The Vein was encountered to the west of Mina San Miguel near the road and tested by DDH 17 – 06. No significant assays were encountered.
The zone was traced SE of DDH 07- 25 for an additional 300 m. The trace of the vein structure is marked by old trenches, shafts, and possibly caved adits. There is insufficient geological and sample data to allow evaluation of this structure. In 2006, Ing German Francisco followed the trace of the structure SE. Approximately 750 m from Mina San Miguel he encountered a quartz outcrop striking under rhyolite flows. Chip samples gave gold and silver assays.

All drill sites were located along a 1,500 m section of the Dos Hornos Zone. When diamond drilling at the site was completed, the site was cleaned up, and all garbage, waste oil etc. removed. The drill hole was marked with a concrete pad and the drill number was marked on the pad.
The drill core was put into core boxes at the drill site. Each core box was marked according to the drill number and depth of hole. Care was taken to preserve the original core sequence and that footage marked corresponded to the actual depth. Individual runs were marked by wooden blocks with the length of the distance. When the box was full it was closed and hauled to the camp.
In Camp the core was positioned on the table, measured, and marked for sampling. Afterwards the core was cut with a diamond saw and half of the cut core was put into a plastic bag tagged and closed. For shipment 4 to 5 samples bags, depending on size, were put into a large bags (costales), which were marked with the sample numbers of the bags contained and the number of the drill hole. The other half was returned into the core box; it was logged by Ing German Francisco R., assisted by the writer, and transported to the core shack for storage.
All core boxes from the 2003 and 2006 – 2007 diamond drilling were hauled to a new storage facility in Xalisco in November 2007. Before they were moved, core boxes were examined, and, if required, repaired (bottoms and tops), the front of the boxes repainted and identifying numbers were freshened, the metal number tags checked for readability, and if lost replaced.
The sample bags were kept in the Tepic office of Cream Minerals De Mexico SA De CV. Whenever sufficient samples had accumulated (1 tonne) The Inspectorate preparation lab in Durango was called to pick up the samples for transport to their preparation Lab in Durango.
12.00 SAMPLING METHOD AND APPROACH
Sampling was supervised by Ing German Francisco Romeo and/or the writer. Sampling was executed by trained personnel during the various phases of work. Every samples surface on outcrops or in old underground workings was first cleaned, by washing, scrapping or chipping to clean a strip 25 cm wide.
Chip samples of 3 to 5 kg were taken over 5 m x 5 m areas where outcrop exposures allowed or where sub-outcrop exposures were deemed as being representative of the underlying lithology. For channel samples rock surfaces were cleaned, a channel 5.00 cm by 2.50 cm was cut. All sample points were located by GPS on surface or by chain and compass underground.
All these features were plotted on maps to make relocation of sample sites easy, even in areas of heavy growth. The sample number with the corresponding sample width and the assay values for gold and silver are plotted for each sample location
13.00 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES, and SECURITY
Rock and soil samples were analyzed by BSI Inspectorate Precious Metals Lab located in Sparks, Nevada. Inspectorate is an ISO 9002 certified precious metals laboratory that maintains a preparation facility in Durango, Mexico. All samples from the Nuevo Milenio project were crushed and pulverized in Durango then sent for analysis to Sparks, Nevada.
- 67 -
A broad outline of sample preparation and analytical procedure for rocks and soils is given by Inspectorate Laboratories as follows. Samples are first dried then crushed to – 10 mesh in two stages utilizing a jaw crusher and a roll mill. A 300-gram split is separated by Jones splitter and then one portion is reduced to –150 mesh.
A weighted portion of the sample is digested with 3.0 ml of 2:1 nitric acid and de-ionized water and allowed to stand and then placed into a hot water bath for 30 minutes. Three ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid is then added and the sample is mixed and placed into a hot water bath for 90 minutes. Four milliliters of 3N hydrochloric acid is added along with 0.1% tartaric acid. The sample is mixed and allowed to settle. The sample is then analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic spectrometry.
A minimum 15% of all analyses are repeated, and for every 20 samples run, a standard, or blank is analyzed. For gold determinations 9 certified gold standards, purchased from Rocklabs and CDN Resources, are used to monitor quality control for fire assay gold analyses that are then finished by gravimetric and atomic absorption methods.
Gold standards, ranging from 0.651 g/t Au to 20.77 g/t Au, are utilized in addition to an internal gold standard of about 1 g/t Au.
During periods of fieldwork samples of rock and soil collected on the property were transported from the field inside a locked box mounted on the back of a pickup truck and driven toDurango.
Samples were prepared in Durango by Inspectorate Laboratories and dried, crushed, pulverized and split at their facility. The prepared sample pulps were then sent to Inspectorate’s main laboratory in Sparks, Nevada for analysis.

15.00 ADJACENT PROPERTIES
None of the adjacent properties are presently being explored. Indeed, the Nuevo Milenio area has not been explored for perhaps the last 70 years or so. The old workings on the claims and throughout the area are thought to date from prior of the 1920’s and some workings date back to Colonial times, pre Spanish war of 1810 to 1825 or still earlier. The showings and old workings at Mina Zapote, Mina Tepeguaje, Mina Bagre, Minas Joya, San Francisco, and La Suerte, which occur on the claims of others, were investigated as part of the overall exploration activities on the property. They were not actively explored however.
The previous section entitled History describes what is known of mining activities in the general area of the present Nuevo Milenio property. This information is not readily available and is derived from fragmentary information of archived historic records in Mexico City and from the local knowledge of others.
The high silver grades of Mina Espiritu Santo (1560) and at Mina Miravalle (1620) which are Epithermal deposits located in the Compostela Mining district, Nayarit,south of the Nuevo Milenio property, are mentioned as general examples only. The grades attributed to these mines are not indicative of those that may occur on the Nuevo Milenio property.
Opal mines are operated on an intermittent basis. Mina Guadalupana and Mina Esmeralda are active. Mina Esmeralda consists of a 60 m long open cut being worked by D-7 bulldozer. Mina Guadalupana consists of large underground stopes and open cuts extending for 700 m along the mountain site. Opal is being recovered from devitrified banded rhyolitic flows. Opal distribution is erratic and no grade can be assign to the mines. Opal recovered is destined for the Japanese market, depending on the quality. In general, from Mina Guadalupana, fire - opal (red colour, no impurities, and no fractures) raw stones with dimension of several cm are sold for US$ 5,000.00.
In 2007 two independent parties of geologist visited the La Suerte denouncement and following the reduction of Lote Nuevo Milenio 1 Fr in 2005, the area was re-denounced in 2006 by independent parties. No work was contacted on the new denouncement.
16.00 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
No mineral processing or metallurgical testing has been carried out.
17.00 INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
The objective of locating areas containing Inferred Mineral Resources is to identify the area with the best exploration potential and to concentrate future work on these areas.
The Inferred Mineral Resource calculations are based on surface, underground and diamond drill data obtained from the Dos Hornos Structure – Veta Tomas. Plans, sections, longitudinal sections, and assays are all included underSECTION 8.00 MINERALIZATION of this report.
Assays used for grade calculations are attached asAppendix I, Appendix II, and Appendix III.
The Dos Hornos area had sufficient work done to allow calculation of an Inferred Mineral Resource in accordance with the definition published and adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005:
- 69 -
"An Inferred Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits workings and drill holes."
Uncertainties inherent in the definition are clarified by the CIM definition standard as follows
"Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. Confidence in the estimate is insufficient to allow the meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability worthy of public disclosure. Inferred Mineral Resources must be excluded from estimates forming the basis of feasibility or other economic studies."
After the 2003 – 2004 diamond drill program and the 2005 re-evaluation program a report, compliant with NI43 – 101 requirements was submitted giving an inferred mineral resources for both Dos Hornos and Once Bocas. (“Geological Report on the Dos Hornos And Once Bocas Gold Silver Structure, Nuevo Milenio Project, Municipality Of Xalisco Tepic Area, Nayarit State, Mexico Latitude: 21021’ 35” North, Longitude: 104046’ 53” West prepared for Cream Minerals De Mexico S.A. De C.V. by F. Holcapek P.Eng., dated February 16,2006”).
Based on the recommendations in the above reports the 2006 – 2007 Diamond drill program was executed on the Dos Hornos zone.
The Inferred Mineral Resources for Dos Hornos were calculated by the writer. He is a Director of Cream Minerals Ltd., and Director General of Cream Minerals de Mexico S.A. de C.V. He has supervised, directed, and executed all exploration on the Nuevo Milenio project from 2000 to present.
17.10 OBSERVATION AND ASSUMPTION to CALCULATED INFERRED RESOURCES
The Inferred Mineral Resource is located within the Dos Hornos zone. Geological mapping has traced the Dos Hornos Zone for a strike length of about 3 km with an indicated width of the zone being 150 m including parallel veins. Topographic relief along strike of Dos Hornos zone is up to 300 m vertically.
1.
Geochemistry, conducted over a 1 km segment of the 3 km strike length, produced a strong gold – silver anomaly defining the trend of the structure. Detailed surface working of trenching, cleaning, sampling of shafts, opening and sampling of adits and sublevels, followed by diamond drilling was concentrated on the northern and central part of the Dos Hornos Structure (Dos Hornos Segment 1 and Dos Hornos Segment 2).
2.
The underground workings are located within the footwall zone of the structure. Depending on the width of the workings, sample width varies from 0.86 m to 10.70 m.
3.
Tractor trench1 to 4 exposes a mineralized width of 10 m to 18 m. Channel sampling of x-cut adit 4 confirmed a mineralized width of 10.70 m, including 4 m of mineralized wall rock.
4.
Comparison of assay between channel samples, surface trenches and diamond drill core taken from the quartz vein – quartz stockwork – silica flooded zone shows t that the gold – silver tenor
- 70 -
of diamond drill core is directly depending on % core recovery and the intensity of brecciation, presence of gouge, intensity of oxidation and multiple stages of quartz introduction.
| | | | |
Weighted Average | # of Samples | width | Au g/t | Ag g/t |
Channel Sample only Trench 1, x-cut adit 4 | 2 | 7.50 | 2.091 | 182.30 |
DDH core samples DDH 01 – 6, DDH 17 – 03 | 2 | 7.00 | 0.250 | 82.42 |
DDH core and Channel samples | 4 | 7.28 | 1.383 | 143.88 |
| | | | |
Channel samples average width | 23 | 4.20 | 1.865 | 187.97 |
DDH samples only average width | 4 | 4.00 | 0.416 | 115.9 |
DDH core and Channel samples average width | 27 | 5.00 | 1.429 | 160.74 |
5.
Diamond drill core identified 4 individual higher- grade section from 2.5m to 8 m wide within a width of up to 24 m of mineralization. These zones are named Vein 1 to Vein 4. The individual veins are bifurcating along strike causing vein 1 and vein 2 to merge for short distance and split. The haltered rhyolite tuff between the 2 veins shows sufficient mineralization to produce a wide zone of possibly economic gold – silver concentrations
6.
X-sections plotted from diamond drill logs show that the zone is cut by sub parallel faults. These faults will duplicate the mineralized section by dropping the hanging wall segment of the zone .The net effect of the duplication is to position multiple mineralized segments along the same level. These zones are referred to as Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 increasing the down dip dimensions.
7.
On the Dos Hornos - Veta Tomas structures 35-diamond drill holes were completed during 2006 – 2007 and an addition 6 diamond drill holes in 2003 – 2004. Core recovery was 20% to 80% in the mineralized sections. To calculate the inferred Mineral Resources 17 diamond drill x-sections based on 38 diamond drill holes and all surface and underground workings, were used.
The following assumptions were made:
1.
Surface trenches less than 1 m deep are considered to be within the weathering zone and show leaching of silver.
2.
Faulting, brecciation and gouge produced low core recovery. It is assumed that the average calculated grade for sections is continuous.
3.
Diamond drill x-sections, showing faulted mineralized segments, are considered proof for continuity of the structure. The grade may be low due to core losses and washing.
4.
The main difficulty encountered lies in sections with diamond drill holes only, were lost core, breccia and gouge does not give assay result representative of the mineralization. For purpose of keeping continuity based on geological consideration intersects showing grades above normal background are used for resource calculation, thereby lowering the average grade.
5.
Diamond drill x-sections showing faulting sub-parallel to the mineralized structures offsetting the mineralization in the vertical plane are considered proof of duplication of the mineralized structure. These faults observed in different diamond drill holes are considered the norm at Dos Hornos – Veta Tomas structures. They produce repetition of several mineralized segments along the same level.The calculated average grade for x-section was applied to these duplicated segments of the mineralized structure.

17.20 PARAMETERS USED TO CALCULATE INFERED MINERAL RESOURCES
Inferred Resource estimates are based on individual x-sections and longitudinal section using, if possible, the duplication of the down dip part of the mineralized zone. The volume between x- sections is defined as a block of mineralization. The dimension and grade, for each block, is established as follows:
1.
The down dip dimension (VD) of the mineralized zone is measured on drill section and if duplication is present, each segment is measured and referred to as Part 1 between surfaces and Fault 1, Part 2 between fault 1 and fault 2 and Part 3 from fault 2 to the 900 m level. I insufficient data is available, a vertical distance of 200 m is used or as dictated by the longitudinal.
2.
Horizontal distance (HD) is measured between diamond drill x-sections as shown on the longitudinal section.
3.
The width of the mineralized zone is based on core and channel samples available for each section. Since the average width of the old Spanish workings is from 0.80 m to a maximum of 1.50 m but channel samples in trenches, along x-cut adit 4 and in diamond drill holes may be as wide as 6.00 to 18 m.
4.
To obtain the average width for each block the average Volume as defined by the 2 sections is divided by the average Area defined by the 2 sections.
5.
To calculate the mass (tonnes) a specific gravity of 2.65 g/cm3 was used – which is the maximum for pure quartz, the main gangue mineral.
6.
To convert grams/ tonnes (g/t) to ounces/tonnes oz/t) 31.103 g/oz is used.
Then:
Distance between Sections =HD (m),
Vertical distance down dip of vein =VD (m)
Average Width of vein =sum of the width (m) of all samples

18.00 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS.
The Dos Hornos – Veta Tomas mineralized structure was explored for a strike length of 1300 m. Both structures are being displaced to the SE by faulting and required additional work to test the displaced segments. The explored 1300 m show continuity for both the structure and for grade.
In 2006 a diamond drill program was initiated. A total of 6965.40m in 35 drill holes were completed. The drill contract lasted from October 2006 to September 2007. All diamond drill holes were located on the Dos Hornos – Veta Tomas structure.
Topographic conditions and orientation of the mineralized structure did not allow optimum location of the drill holes along Segment 2 Dos Hornos and Veta Tomas, hence several of the drill holes located along these segments did not intersect the total width of mineralization, or missed the mineralized zone completely (DDH 07- 30, DDH 07 – 33). Some of the drill hole intersected fault structures or followed faults down dip (DDH 07-28, DDH 07 – 29, DDH 22 -06)
Channel sampling at surface, in underground workings or in shafts show, consistently, much higher gold content then drill core samples originating from the same sections. This may be caused by loss of particular gold in drill core (lost core).

Apparently the brecciated, sheared, and broken nature of the mineralized zone causes loss of sulfides by washing of core. Channel sampling of x-cuts and sublevels showed the same brecciated, broken nature of the walls but no fine material was lost during sampling. The objective of the drill program was to clarify:
a.
The geological setting of the Dos Hornos zone
b.
Continuity of the mineralized structure
c.
The effect of core losses on the drill core assays
d.
The effect of faulting on the distribution of mineralization.
e.
Obtain information to expand the known Inferred Mineral Resources and/or to upgrade them to the next level.
- 78 -
The main difficulty encountered lies in sections with diamond drill holes only, where poor recovery in the faulted, brecciated mineralized section does not give assay result representative of the mineralization. For purpose of keeping continuity based on geological consideration intersects showing grades above normal background are used for resource calculation, thereby lowering the average grade.
In spite of the difficulties encountered during the drill program, valuable geological data was gained in respect to the configuration of the Dos Hornos – Veta Tomas Structure. Both structures had sufficient work done to allow calculation of an Inferred Mineral Resource in accordance with the definition published and adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005.
The evident discrepancies between channel samples and core samples require underground development for bulk sampling and channel sampling to establish the true grade.
18.10 Dos Hornos Structure:
The Dos Hornos structure consists of 2 fault segments 320 m and 420 m long respectively, which were tested by diamond drilling during 2004 and October 2006 to September 2007. Both segments show grade and strike continuity allowing the calculation of an Inferred Mineral Resources.
Dos Hornos Segment 1 was investigated by 9 drill holes of which 3 were located during the 2003 – 2004 diamond drill program and 6 in 2006 – 07.
DDH 17 -03 at -45oand DDH 18 at -45o were located to test continuation of Dos Hornos Vein 1 below Trench 1 and Shaft 4. Both drill holes intersected the structure from 32 to 54 m and 18 to 36m respectively. Both drill holes had poor core recovery within the mineralized zone or hit reopened old Spanish workings.
DDH 02 – 06 intersected a 14 m section of good mineralization with a 2 m of high grade gold – silver mineralization in a stock work zone 6 m to the NE of the main zone... Core recovery was much better than in other drill holes.
DDH 14 – 07 and DDH 07 – 35 were located as fill in holes showing continuity of the mineralized structure but lower grade – poor core recovery
DDH 09 – 06 located to test the area known to be between 2 fault blocks. The faults were intersected before the mineralized zone was encountered.
DDH 12 – 09 was spotted NE of shaft 5 along the road with the objected to test the continuation of Dos
Hornos Segment 1 in the FW of the N70E/60SW fault. The drill hole did intersect the zone in the FW of the fault.
In 2003, DDH 01 – 03 was located at trench 3 and drilled NE in search of the Dos Hornos Structure. The mineralized zone was encountered from 188 m to 212 m after passing through 2 major faults (N80W/75 SW and N70E 60 SW) about 150 m below surface. The drill hole was stopped within a quartz stockwork zone because of core recovery problems.
Diamond drilling also showed that the Dos Hornos zone was cut be sub parallel faults which produced duplication of the mineralized zone by moving the FW segment up in respect to the HW wall. The segments vary in length from 60 to 100 m depending on the apparent dip at which the drill hole intersects the fault. The effect of these faults is to produce an apparently wide zone of quartz veining – quartz stockwork along the same level.

A comparison of gold – silver content between drill core and channel samples showed that channel sample assays are always higher than drill core samples. The brecciated, sheared, and broken nature of the mineralized zone causes loss of sulfides by washing of core. Channel sampling of x-cuts and sublevels showed the same brecciated, broken nature of the walls but no fine material was lost during sampling.
The wide mineralized zone (8 m to 15 m wide) is a composite zone, consisting of 4 individual, bifurcating veins with intervening quartz stockwork. These veins have a combined higher grade combined width of 7.13 m.
Vein 1 and 2 have a tendency to merge, forming section up to 6 m wide of good grade mineralization or they split into separate vein structures 2 to 4 m wide. The intervening quartz stockwork zone usually carries sufficient values to produce a wide lower grade section. The grade of these wider sections will have to be ascertained by underground x-cutting and channel sampling.
Dos Hornos Segment 2is the HW part of the displacedzone. It was investigated by 12 drill holes in 2006 – 2007 and 3 drill holes in 2003. In this segment the trace of the Dos Hornos structure follows a creek (fault?) with steep banks.
Topographic relief from Trench 3 at 1150 m elevation to DDH 07 – 26 at 1345 m elevation is 195 m. Holes are located along the NE site of the structure and drilled at -45 to – 60 degree to the SW, down dip of the structures. Brecciation, gouge, faulting and intense oxidation affected the mineralized zone giving poor core recovery.
Drilling proved continuity of the 4 veins encountered in Dos Hornos Segment 1. Vein 1 and 2 are usually forming 1 zone, Vein 3 is less continuous, Vein 4 is much stronger than in Dos Hornos Segment 1. The repetition of faulted segments of the mineralized zone is also drill indicated in this Segment.
In DDH 10 – 06 was drilled to the NE, and DDH 11 – 06 was drilled in the same section to SW. A composite mineralized zone, 60 m wide, was intersected (Vein 1 to Vein 4). DDH 11 – 06 is the only drilled hole which intersected Vein 5, showing free gold and high gold assays. It lies SW of the Dos Hornos zone. DDH 21- 06 cut an unknown vein within a sub parallel fault.
Dos Hornos Segment 3 was moved about 230 m SE and is covered by devitrified rhyolite flows. To locate Dos Hornos Segment 3 diamond drilling from drill site DDH 07 – 24 at a bearing of N50E is recommended. Surface mapping suggest the presence of unknown faulting in the area.
18.20 Veta Tomas:
Veta Tomas is a N35W trending quartz vein – stockwork zone about 240 m west of the Dos Hornos zone. The structure was first encountered in several isolated outcrops and old shafts over a strike length of 1000 m from the basalt cover in the north to Creston Dos Hornos, Shaft 11.
Structural analysis showed that shaft 6 and shaft 7 and shaft 11 are possibly located on Veta Tomas. In DDH 02 – 03 located at Trench 3 a vein structure intersected from 82 m to 95 m is correlated with Veta Tomas. It is a faulted vein section moved against Dos Hornos
The faulting which displaced Dos Hornos and cut it into several segments affected also Veta Tomas and displaced the zone about 230 m NE nearly on strike of Dos Hornos Segment 2. Veta Tomas lies within the HW of a N80W/60 SW fault structure and outcrops in shaft 12.
- 80 -
DDH 02 – 03, located to the north and drilled under Trench 3. It intersected a fault segment of a vein structure correlated to Veta Tomas. This segment lies in the FW of a parallel N80W/75SW fault.
Veta Tomas has been explored by 5 diamond drill holes in 2006 – 2007 and 1 drill hole in 2003. Shaft 11, Shaft 12, Mina San Miguel, and Mina Santa Gertrudis are located on this structure. The mineralized zone has an average width of 5.10 m. It is variable in grade and shows good continuity.
Free gold was observed in DDH 20 - 06, DDH 22 -06 and DDH 07 – 24. Wide zones of low grade gold (0.250 g/t to 1.00 g/t) were intersected by diamond drilling.
The highest silver grades were encountered in Mina Santa Gertrudis and in DDH 07 – 23. Like at Dos Hornos Segment 1 and Segment 2 faulting, breccia and oxidation is prominent.

At Mina Santa Gertrudis, an erosional window cut into the HW of a N80 W/60SW fault, exposes Veta Tomas located
Veta Gertrudis located lies within the HW site of this faultand is along the trace of Veta Tomas. The area was explored several old shafts and trench. The vein was traced for about 500m to the SE. DDH 19 -06 and DDH 07 – 25 tested this vein zone but no significant gold or silver values were encountered.
18.30 Conclusion:
Compilation of the results of the 2006 – 2007 diamond drill program and exploration results established the following:
1.
The Dos Hornos structure is cut by 3 known parallel fault systems trending N80W/75 SW and N70E/60 SW. The segment north of Arroyo Guadalupana was not explored.
2.
The segment south of Creston Dos Hornos is displaced by about 230 m to the SE is and covered by rhyolite flows.
3.
The center section of the Dos Hornos structure, consisting of Dos Hornos Segment 1 and Dos Hornos Segment 2, was explored by 28 diamond drill holes, shafts, trenches and adits.
4.
A comparison of drill core assays with channel sample assays from trenches and adits shows that core assays can be up to 50% lower. This can be caused by washing of core or poor core recovery in fault and breccia zones.
5.
Diamond drilling and channel sampling of tractor trenches and underground workings showed, that the Dos Hornos structure consists of 4 bifurcating, parallel quartz veins trending N to N52W/ 85SW to 85 NE. The mineralized width, depending on cut off grade is 10 to 20 m.
6.
Within this wide mineralized zone 4 higher grade quartz veins having an envelope of quartz stockwork were recognized.

10.
Diamond drilling proved that the Dos Hornos Segment 1, Segment 2, and Veta Tomas have a combined explored strike length of 1,300 m with continuity of depth and grade to allow calculation of an Inferred Mineral Resource.
The Total Inferred Mineral Resource calculated for both the Dos Hornos Segment 1 and 2 and Veta Tomas is as follows:
| | | | | | |
Dos Hornos | Combined Width m | Tonnes | Au g/t | Ag g/t | Au oz | Ag oz |
Segment 1 | | | | | | |
Vein 1 to Vein 3 | 7.13 | 2,132,802.55 | 1.53 | 133.71 | 104,582.59 | 9,168,652.44 |

| | | | | | |
Veta Tomas | 5.09 | 1,246,162.50 | 1.282 | 354.72 | 51,344.17 | 14,212,286.62 |

"Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. Confidence in the estimate is insufficient to allow the meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic viability worthy of public disclosure. Inferred Mineral Resources must be excluded from estimates forming the basis of feasibility or other economic studies."
The results to date have shown that the Dos Hornos and Veta Tomas structures are part of a large epithermal Low Sulphidation Hydrothermal system with proven silver – gold mineralization. Both zones consist of multiple parallel veins warranting additional exploration to convert Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources.
The old miner’s axiom: “You drill for structure, but drive for grade” is very much applicable to the epithermal gold – silver structures of Mexico.

19.00 RECOMMENDATIONS:
Phase I of the follow up exploration program should focus on the areas at Dos Hornos and Veta Tomas. Continuation of old workings located during 2006 – 2007 should be opened and sampled.
1.
Completion of topographic survey initiated in Nov 2007 and to extent to cover the Once Bocas and Cerro Chacuaco zones.
2.
Initiating underground development for channel and bulk sampling to ascertain the true gold – silver grade should be initiated. Initial costs for incline, x-cutting and drifting are being quoted as US 285.00 per m for a 2.5m x 2.5m opening US$ 208.00 per m for raises and shafts with a 1.80 x 1.80 m x-section. A new quote for underground development work should be obtained.
3.
Expansion of geological and geochemical work to cover the SE extension of Dos Hornos, Veta Tomas and evaluation of Veta Gertrudis to establish economic merits should be initiated.
4.
Orientation geophysical surveys, as recommended by a qualified geophysicist, to establish if their effectiveness in outlining buried mineralized structures or areas of bulk tonnage is warranted.
5.
On completion of the work programs, diamond drilling is recommended for both Dos Hornos and Once Bocas primarily.
Phase II Diamond drilling is recommended, independent of the results of results of Phase I. Fill in Drilling at closer intervals should be done along the strike of the prospective mineralized zones at Dos Hornos North, Once Bocas, and Cerro Chacuaco.
