El Oro property is located in the east-west trending Trans-Mexican volcanic belt in the central part of Mexico. The El Oro property has excellent road access and is located 120 km northwest of Mexico City in the States of Mexico and Michoacán. The El Oro mines are past producers of gold and silver, and the mines hosted the largest known vein systems in the region. Past producing main veins varied between 1 m and 70 m in thickness, were mined over a 1.0 km to 3.5 kmstrike length, and over vertical distances of up to 250 m. Gold-silver mineralization in the El Oro property area is hosted in low sulphidation epithermal quartz and calcite veins. The El Oro property concession does not represent a producing property, and the Company’s current operations consist of an exploratory search for mineable deposits of minerals.
