Saric (El Oso) – Geologists Report
In April 2008, we leased 12 mining concessions totaling 1,790 hectares located northwest of Saric, Sonora. In addition, we own a claim of approximately 2,304 additional hectares adjacent to this property. The 4,094 hectare area is accessible by paved roads, and has cellular phone service from hilltops. These concessions and this claim are about 60 miles northeast of the El Chanate mine. Mineralization is evident throughout the concession group and is hosted by shear zones and stockwork quartz veins in volcanic and intrusive rocks. We have completed exploration work consisting of geological mapping, systematic geochemical sampling of rock and soils, geophysical surveys, trenching and aerial mapping.In addition.
Through November we have completed a total of seventy three reverse circulation drill holes. All of these holes were focused on the northern part of concession group near the Sombreretillo Ranch. These holes varied in depth from 100 to 150 meters. SRK of Lakewood Colorado are compiling the data with the intent to define a mineral resource and to advise on the next stage of exploration. Chemex, an independent assay laboratory, are conducting the drill hole assays.
The property lease agreement, which allows us to explore and mine the property, required an initial payment of $45k upon execution of the lease April 4, 2008. In addition, we are required to make ten payments of $25k every four months beginning eight months after execution of the lease agreement. The agreement also contains an option for us to acquire the mining concessions in December 2011 for a cash payment of $1.5 million usd (plus the sum of payments made) or at the end of the 11 payment periods, at Capital’s option or alternatively pay a 1 percent sales royalty capped at $3 million from future mine production.
