The drill program is continuing at Las Naves central and assay results for drill holes 53 and 54 are pending.

Mr. Fredy Salazar states, "The recent drill results at the El Domo anomaly validate our belief that El Domo mineralization continues to the south, east and north. We plan to focus our exploration at El Domo to prove up what we believe is a significant discovery and through systematic exploration efforts, adding significant tonnage to first of what could be many polymetallic mineralized bodies on the Curipamba project."

A QC program was used whereby 5% of all samples sent to the laboratory were standard samples with known silver and gold values. Sample preparation was performed by BSI Inspectorate Quito, Ecuador, using standard industry practices (sample prep minus 32). Analytical work was carried out at the BSI Inspectorate Laboratory in Lima, Peru, using fire assay methods for gold (Au-25 procedure). Standard samples, blanks and duplicate check samples were randomly inserted to the sample batch to ensure quality control.
