- We are currently re-analyzing geological information and the re-logging historical
drill results. Drilling completed in 2005 and 2008 only reached relatively shallow depths of approximately 150 meters.
- To date Monarca has identified 3 extremely high grade intercepts at both Los
Mantos and Cerro Prieto portions of Tejamen.
- Drill hole MMT-141, Los Mantos, reported an 80-meter zone containing 417
grams of silver including 4,028 grams per silver from 82 to 88 meters from
- surface. This is one of three high grade veins identified in Los Mantos.
- Cerro Prieto is a thick zone of parallel veins and disseminated silver mineralization
at approximately 80 meters. Cerro Prieto drilling reached a maximum depth of 150 meters. It is worthwhile to note that the core was not assayed for any other metals.

Support from the Mexican Government
TSX.V-MMN November 29, 2017
- Carlos Espinosa, Director, has been developing and
implementing a plan to secure the surface rights at Tejamen, Monarca’s flagship property. Over the last 12 months Carlos has met with senior officials at the Federal, State and Municipal level.
- Jose Rosas Aispuro, Governor of the State of Durango is
pro-mining, and he appointed two highly experienced mining engineers to his cabinet; Ramon Davila, Minister of Economic Development and Jose Luis Aguilar, Deputy Minister of Mining; both of them worked most of their career on Canadian and Mexican mining companies,.
- Mayor of Nuevo Ideal (Tejamen belongs to the
municipality of Nuevo Ideal) have been fully supportive on this new approach to Tejamen community.
- Current state governor will be at the office until 2022
enabling Monarca to concentrate on community relationships and development of Tejamen, San Lucas and El Sol

Community Relations at Tejamen
TSX.V-MMN November 29, 2017
- Monarca has built the foundation with
the Mexican government and are developing a close relationship with the community
- Carlos have been meeting with the
leaders of the local community of
- Tejamen. In those meetings Carlos
listened to the Community’s concerns, introduced the new Monarca management team, reviewed the benefits to the Community and outlined Monarca’s plans once the surface rights have been secured. Monarca is dedicated to being a responsible Community partner
- Carlos will continue traveling to Mexico
to keep building the relationship and trust with Tejamen community
San Lucas Overview
- Two parallel vein structures have been identified in
the 3km long mineralized Main Shear zone.
- 79 historical RC holes have been drilled, ranging from
about 32m to 259m and averaging 158 m in depth.
- Drilling results include up to 2m at 527ppm Ag, with
Zn and Pb over 1% (MMSL-46; 154m-156m depth).
- And up to 22.9m at 0.78ppm Au and 12.7ppm Ag
(SL11-11 500 165 - 240 ft depth).
- Exploration upside in the El Doctor vein area (Noche
Buena) in outcrop channel sampling (up to 1.4m at 110ppm Au and 168ppm Ag).
November 29, 2017 15 TSX.V-MMN
San Lucas Overview
- Luismin obtained some very high grade underground
sampling results, with up to 256ppm Au and 391ppm Ag, over 0.55m.
- Potential exists for the principal veins below previous
drilling depths, where the base of the volcanic host rocks encounter schist, phyllite and limestone. The sub-volcanic rocks remain untested on the Main Shear areas, where there is significant potential for large manto deposits.
- A 2005 43-101 compliant Technical Report (Richards)
states that a “centre of mineralization exists in the northern portion of the Main Shear” and that this is an “expression of manto style mineralization at depth”, in underlying carbonate rocks.
- An exploration program for 2018 is proposed with
estimated cost is US$850,000.

- Seventy-nine RC holes have
been drilled at San Lucas
- Generally to depths of less
that 200m
- Manto potential below
200m in untested vein areas
- Luismin obtained some very
high grade underground sampling results, with up to 256ppm Au and 391ppm Ag, over 0.55m.
TSX.V-MMN
El Sol Overview
- Surface sampling at El Sol (old mine dumps) of up to 358ppm Ag, 1.945ppm Au,
19.6% Zn and 22.6% Pb.
- One hole has been drilled (Southern Silver Exploration [SSV], 13CLM-072) and
returned 0.3m (102.5 – 102.8m depth) at 87ppm Ag, 1.88% Pb, 1.01% Zn and 0.11% Cu.
- A strong chargeability anomaly runs along the eastern side of the El Sol concession,
possibly indicating the presence of sulfide mineralization and northward extension
- f SSV’s Blind/El Sol Zone.
- A strong aeromagnetic anomaly is located at the northwestern portion of the El
Sol concession, possibly indicating the presence of a mineralizing intrusive.
- An exploration program for 2018 is proposed, consisting of 4-6 holes (total 1500m)
to cost US$300,000.
- Possible Joint Venture opportunity

Mining Concession Map
Primary Exploration Area 1 km
Magnetic Anomaly (porphyry Cu) North Concession Limit
Geology and Mineralization
- Mineralizing Tertiary intrusives emplaced into Paleozoic to Mesozoic limestones
- Intrusives manifest as several types and phases, ranging from equigranular
granodiorite to rhyolite porphyry
- Intrusives occur with various types and degrees of alteration including propyllitic,
slilicification, endoskarn, disseminated pyrite to 2% and specularite/magnetite
- ExoSkarn mineralization is grossularite ± diopside, locally with hydrous retrograde
silica + clay and overprinting quartz veins and silicification
- Au mineralization, principally in late quartz veins, overprint the skarn and is
associated with late silicification in the exoskarn and mineralizing intrusives
- Potential exists in the north portion of the concession for a porphyry Cu/Au
deposit, associated with the magnetic anomaly and skarn
- Overprinting late Au veins have potential for production
- Tungsten occurrences have been reported in the area of skarns
Why Monarca Minerals?
- Strong Board to deal with securing the surface rights to Monarca’s flagship
property, Tejamen.
