About the El Creston Property
The El Creston Property, comprising an area of approximately 500 hectares, is an iron prospect located north of the town of Choix, Sinaloa State, Mexico.

To date there are 12 known magnetite bodies occurring along an easterly arcuate zone near the northeast contact of the metasediments and granodioritic plutons. The magnetite lenses appear discontinuous but are sub-parallel to each other occurring along the zone that extends some 1000m along strike and across a width of 200m.

magnetite lenses are presently being verified by mechanical trenching. Previous chip sampling of the magnetite bodies returned values ranging from 49.5% to 71.4% Fe. A ground magnetometer survey over the entire property has been completed and the Company is preparing for a diamond drilling program to further delineate the scope of iron mineralization.
