- utlined by intense quartz-
sericite-pyrite alteration 4. The central zone is 1,200 metres east-west by 1,600 metres north-south 5. The geophysical anomaly indicates the system is

TSXV:CCD LAS BURRAS MMI GEOCHEMISTRY
A program of Mobile Metal Ions Technology (MMI-M) soil geochemical survey revealed a number of precious- rare earth - and base- metal anomalies. A significant Au-Ag anomaly is marked by coincident elevated Cu-Mo responses The zonation and the distribution of the anomalies suggests there are several different phases of mineralization present on the property A follow-up diamond drilling program is recommended to test the precious metal anomalies

TSXV:CCD LAS BURRAS CONCLUSIONS
- Geological data from surveys by Mansfield Minera 1998, regional studies by Mazzuoli
combined with mapping, geochemical and prospecting data by SESA provide evidence for the existence of a buried porphyry Cu-Au deposit at Las Burras
- Geophysical surveys show a core of high-chargeability and low-resistivity coincident
with a zone of low-magnetic susceptibility
- The core zone is flanked and partly surrounded by a rim of high-resistivity. This
configuration is consistent with the geophysical signature of a typical Andean porphyry deposit
- Geological, mapping and geophysical data support the existence of a porphyry copper
gold system in the central part of the geophysical grid
- A program of core drilling to test this exploration model is proposed

TSXV:CCD INCAHUASI – SANTA ROSA DISTRICT
26 Incahuasi – Porphyry Au-Ag-Cu open-pit bulk mineable prospect potential >300 million tonnes Incahuasi porphyry system covers a larger area than Las Burras The core magnetic – low is 3,000 metres in diametre Incahuasi has four separate prospective zones
TSXV:CCD GEOPHYSICAL SUMMARY INCAHUASI PORPHYRY PROSPECT
- ground magnetic data outline a large, broad magnetic-low measuring
- ver 3,000m in diameter
- Several strong IP anomalies are present at Incahuasi
- amplitude of the chargeability exceeds 50 mV/V on multiple lines and
reaches 88 mV/V
- strong chargeability anomaly within valley = 3,000m east west and
400m to 800m north south
- second chargeability anomaly southwest of the primary anomaly
- southwest extension is located in the hills outside of the main valley
- chargeabilities are somewhat lower (20 to 35 mV/V) associated with
low-resistivities and a moderate magnetic-high
- geophysical data appear to map a large complex
hydrothermal alteration system at Incahuasi
