Las Chispas area is located approx. 160 km NE of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and 30 km north of Santa Elena Mine.
Rediscovering an historic Mexican silver-gold district with multiple abandoned mines; these historical producers have never been drill tested.
Historically known for silver & gold-rich veins. Publicly disclosed information from various references suggests historic cumulative production of approx. 120 million oz of silver and 200,000 oz of gold from numerous mines within the Las Chispas area.
Good infrastructure with highway nearby.
Epithermal system with multiple 0.5 to 5 metre wide veins, stockworks and breccias, 1 to 1.5 km in strike length.
Targets for modern exploration include drilling possible near-surface vein extensions; depth extensions of historical producing areas and possibly reprocessing existing waste and old tailings dumps.
