“Extension”), contiguous with its 100% owned Auquis Project (“Auquis” or the “Project”). The

soils geochemistry samples taken by the Company prior to staking the property (Figure 1). Within
the Rose porphyry zone, early-stage soil samples have correlated well with rock chip sampling
anomalies over a 3km x 1.5km area.
Future exploration at Auquis is planned to include additional sampling at the Rose zone as well
as additional work at the Blanco skarn target where skarn mineralization includes anomalous
rock samples up 9.3% zinc, 6.1% lead, 2.8% copper and 176g/t silver at surface.

QA/QC
The work program at Auquis was designed and supervised by Eduardo Leon, the Company's
Exploration Manager. He is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality
control/quality assurance program. On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track
samples which are then security sealed and shipped to the ALS laboratory in Lima. Samples used
for the results described herein are prepared and analyzed by multi-element analysis using an
inductively coupled mass spectrometer in compliance with industry standards.
Soil s amples were extracted from prospecting pits measuring 40cm x 40 cm, where the
uppermost A horizon was removed to collect the underlying B horizon. A total of 1.5 to 2.0 kg of
B Horizon material was collected at each sampling site, before the sampling pit was reclaimed. A
total of 10 samples were added to the previous grid of 200m north-south and 400m east-west
orientation.
