SUMMARY
The Indigo One Site consists of ten Mineral Claims located in the Alamos
District, Sonora State, Mexico, consisting of porphyry copper deposits which are
copper orebodies associated with porphyritic intrusive rocks. The Mineral Claims
consist of 990 hectares located in a region with known deposits of copper,
molybdenum, silver, and several other minor quantities of minerals. The location
is approximately 330 kilometers SE of Hermosillo, 60 kilometers SW of Chihuahua,
and 6 kilometers S of the nearest town, Las Alamos.
Currently, there are two other start-up mining operations operating within 50
kilometers of Las Alamos, with both claims totaling approximately 1,100 hectares
SW of Indigo One. These other mining operations have reported preliminary
activity indicating .04% copper deposits in felsic to intermediate intrusive
igneous rocks and associated breccias. Host rocks include diorite and
granodiorite. These rocks are intruded by a quartz monzonite porphyry stock and
by numerous breccia masses which contain fragments of other older rock types.
In my opinion, the Indigo One Site warrants further examination and testing.
Recommended: Complete a Phase 1 exploratory work program consisting of mineral
testing and analysis of rock and soil samples. Phase 1 remaining estimated costs
of $4,000 U.S.
Recommended: contingent upon positive results from Phase 1, Phase 2 program to
consist of mapping, drilling, magnetometer surveying, trenching, and further
analysis, estimated to cost $12,000 U.S.

COMPLETE REPORT
MINERAL SITE
On July 1, 2006, I visited the Indigo One Mineral Claim Site. The site is
approximately 330 kilometers SE of Hermosillo, 60 kilometers SW of Chihuahua,
and 6 kilometers S of the nearest town, Las Alamos.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Indigo One Site consists of ten Mineral Claims totaling an area of 990
hectares recorded as Exploration Concessions with the Secretaria de Economia in
Mexico City through the regional office in Hermosillo, state of Sonora. These
Exploration Concessions are regarded as mineral claims for a period of six
years. If no actual commercial mineral extraction occurs within the six years,
the original Exploration Concessions expire. The Exploration Concessions were
filed and became effective on July 20, 2006
There are no known environmental liabilities. Before actual commercial mineral
extraction begins (beyond preliminary trenching, drilling, and mineral
sampling), an environmental permit must be obtained from the Secretaria de Medio
Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT).
TOPOGRAPHY, ELEVATION AND VEGETATION
Elevations at the site on the east side of the mountain range know as the Sierra
Madre Occidental average 2,000 meters with mountain peaks at 3,300 meters. While
the nearby small towns have adequate water supplies through wells and cisterns,
providing water for small areas of trees and very few farms, the area is
considered high desert and mountainous with much of the land covered in large
rock formations and foothills thornscrub.
ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY
The site is accessible from Las Alamos via maintained dirt and gravel roads
suitable for large trucks and four wheel drive vehicles.

PROXIMITY TO URBAN TOWNS AND SERVICES
Mexican Federal Highway 16 (paved) connects the state capital, Hermosillo, on
the west and other Gulf of California towns to Cuauhtemoc (330 kilometers to the
east). Cuauhtemoc is 50 kilometers north of the small town of Las Alamos. The
Indigo One site is approximately 10 kilometers south of Las Alamos. Las Alamos
is considered to be primarily a quaint naturalist retreat and historic mining
town. Primary goods and services necessary for development of mining operations
will come from Hermosillo on the west, or Chihuahua on the east on Highway 16
(approximately 100 kilometers). Both of these cities have extensive construction
and mining service providers and major airports.
Initial phases of exploration and surface trenching will be supported by
electrical generators. Electrical power lines that supply power to the town of
Las Alamos are located near the claim boundary and will be utilized should the
claim become economically feasible.
Sufficient water is available from several wells located within 5 kilometers of
the claim site necessary to support all phases of exploration and development.
CLIMATE
The immediate area surrounding the site region is considered high desert and
mountainous, and is on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre Occidental
mountain range of the northern Mexican altiplano, a great plain that extends to
the Sierra Madre Oriental range in eastern Mexico.
The Tropic of Cancer effectively divides the country into temperate and tropical
zones. Land north of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences cooler temperatures
during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are
fairly constant year round and vary solely as a function of elevation.
Areas in the low-lying areas north of the twenty-fourth parallel are hot and
humid during the summer, however, they generally have lower yearly temperature
averages (from 20(degree)C to 24(degree)C) because of more moderate conditions
during the winter than the region south of the twenty-fourth parallel. The
Indigo One Site is just above the twenty-eighth parallel.
Areas between 1,000 and 2,000 meters elevation have yearly average temperatures
between 16(degree)C and 20(degree)C. Towns and cities at this elevation south of
the twenty-fourth parallel have relatively constant, pleasant temperatures
throughout the year, whereas more northerly locations experience sizeable
seasonal variations. Above 2,000 meters, temperatures drop as low as an average
yearly range between 8(degree)C and 12(degree)C in the Cordillera Neovolcanica.
3
Rainfall varies widely both by location and season. Arid or semiarid conditions
are encountered in the Baja California Peninsula, the northwestern state of
Sonora, the northern altiplano, and also significant portions of the southern
altiplano. Rainfall in these regions averages between 300 and 600 millimeters
per year, although even less in some areas, particularly in Baja California
Norte. Parts of the northern altiplano and high peaks in the Sierra Madre
Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental occasionally receive significant
snowfalls.
Mexico has pronounced wet and dry seasons. Most of the country experiences a
rainy season from June to mid-October and significantly less rain during the
remainder of the year. February and July generally are the driest and wettest
months, respectively. (Lopez)
SURFACE AREAS
Beginning approximately 50 kilometers from the United States border, the Sierra
Madre Occidental extends 5000 kilometers south to the Rio Santiago, where it
merges with the Cordillera Neovolcanica range that runs east-west across central
Mexico. The Sierra Madre Occidental lies approximately 300 kilometers inland
from the west coast of Mexico at its northern end but approaches to within fifty
kilometers of the coast near the Cordillera Neovolcanica. The northwest coastal
plain is the name given the lowland area between the Sierra Madre Occidental and
the Gulf of California. The Sierra Madre Occidental averages 2,250 meters in
elevation, with peaks reaching 3,000 meters.
The Sierra Madre Oriental starts at the Big Bend region of the Texas-Mexico
border and continues 1,350 kilometers until reaching Cofre de Perote, one of the
major peaks of the Cordillera Neovolcanica. As is the case with the Sierra Madre
Occidental, the Sierra Madre Oriental comes progressively closer to the
coastline as it approaches its southern terminus, reaching to within 75
kilometers of the Gulf of Mexico. The northeast coastal plain extends from the
eastern slope of the Sierra Madre Oriental to the Gulf of Mexico. The median
elevation of the Sierra Madre Oriental is 2,200 meters, with some peaks at 3,000
meters.
The Mexican altiplano, stretching from the United States border to the
Cordillera Neovolcanica, occupies the vast expanse of land between the eastern
and western sierra madres. A low east-west range divides the altiplano into
northern and southern sections. The northern altiplano averages 1,100 meters in
elevation and continues south from the Rio Bravo del Norte through the states of
Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi. Various narrow, isolated ridges cross the
plateaus of the northern altiplano. Numerous depressions dot the region, the
largest of which is the Bolson de Mapimi.
Mexico has nearly 150 rivers, two-thirds of which empty into the Pacific Ocean
and the remainder of which flow into the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea.
Despite this apparent abundance of water, water volume is unevenly distributed
4
throughout the country. Northern and central Mexico, with 47 % of the national
area and almost 60 % of Mexico's population, have less than 10 % of the
country's water resources. (Hewett)
HISTORY
The area around the site has a long history of mining activity. The Spaniards
began active surface mining for silver and founded Las Alamos as a mining town
in 1681. Northern Sonora was a prosperous gold mining region from 1848 to 1852.
Mining has continued for gold, silver, copper and other minerals throughout
north eastern Sonora to this day.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The region in which the Indigo One Site resides contains copper deposits in
felsic to intermediate intrusive igneous rocks and associated breccias. Host
rocks include diorite and granodiorite. These rocks are intruded by a quartz
monzonite porphyry stock and by numerous breccia masses which contain fragments
of other older rock types. (Rodriguez)
DEPOSIT AND MINERAL TYPES OF THE LAS ALAMOS REGION
The Las Alamos region porphyry copper deposits occurring in host rocks exhibit a
close genetic relationship to quartz monzonite porphyry and breccia types due to
hydrothermal alteration. Alteration in the central core of larger deposits is
pervasive and is predominantly phyllic (quartz-sericite-pyrite). Alteration
grades outward from the center into irregular argillic bands and narrow
prophlitic halos. Significant areas of hypogene mineralization consist of
pyrite, chalcopyrite, and molybdenite, in order of decreasing abundance,
together with minor amounts of sphalerite, galena, and bornite. Total sulfide
content ranges from two percent to eight percent by volume, with
pyrite-chalcopyrite ratios from 2:1 to as much as 10:1. The hypogene copper
grade in the deposits average from approximately 0.3 percent in many deposits to
a maximum of 0.6 percent in a small number of deposits. Supergene enrighment,
consisting of complete to partial chalcocite replacement of chalcopyrite and
pyrite, occurs beneath multiple site zones. Threefold enrichment, relative to
hypogene mineralization, has resulted in multiple site deposits of ore grade up
to 0.75 percent copper in these chalcocite zones. In most zones, a leached
capping of rocks in a depth of thirty to sixty meters covers the chalcocite
zones consisting of various combinations of indigenous iron oxide minerals that
include hematite, goethite, and jarosite. The south eastern mineralization
sector of the Las Alamos region, extending 75 kilometers, consists of
significant magmatic breccias within a heterogeneous rock package occurring as
disseminated and bleb sulphides of chalcopyrite. This heterogeneous rock package
includes melanocratic to leucocratic breccias and pegmatitic to vari-textured
breccia zones. (Rodriguez, Noll)
