ABOUT OROCO:
The Company holds an irrevocable option to acquire a 56.7% interest in the collective 1,172.9 ha
core concessions of the Santo Tomás Project in
NW Mexico
, and may increase that majority interest
up to an 81.0% interest with a project investment of up to
CAD$30 million
. The Company also holds
a 77.5% interest in 7,807.9 ha of mineral concessions surrounding and adjacent to the core
concessions (a total project size of 22,192 acres). The Project is situated within the
Santo Tomas
District, which extends from
Santo Tomas
up to the Jinchuan Group's Bahuerachi project,
approximately 14 km to the north-east. Santo Tomás hosts a significant copper porphyry deposit
defined by prior exploration spanning the period from 1968 to 1994. During that time, the property
was tested by over 100 diamond drill and reverse circulation drill holes, totaling approximately
30,000 meters. Based on data generated by these drill programs, a resource estimate for the
project was calculated by Mintec, Inc., and metallurgical test work was conducted by Mountain
States Research and Development, Inc. In 1994, a Prefeasibility Study was completed by Bateman
Engineering Inc.
The Santo Tomas Project is located within 160km of the Pacific deep-water port at
Topolobampo
,
and serviced via highway and proximal rail (and parallel corridors of trunk grid power lines and
natural gas) through the city of
Los Mochis
to the northern city of
Choix
. The property is reached by
a 32 km access road originally built to service the El Sauzal Mine of Goldcorp in Chihuahua State.
