It is expected that the Whittle Pit\non the main Oculto deposit could be expanded in this direction to\nincorporate additional high-grade resources.\n \n \n \n \n - Laderas Zone:\n \n \n The\n \n \n Laderas Zone is located\napproximately 500 metres north of Oculto deposit on the Diablilllos\nproperty. Previous shallow drilling at Laderas intersected significant\ngold and copper intercepts over broad widths.\n \n \n \n \n - The Northern Arc:\n \n \n The Northern Arc contains a cluster of prospects that lies\napproximately three to four kilometres north-northeast of the centre\nof the Oculto deposit. All have near surface, high grade gold\nintercepts in epithermal mineralisation similar in style to Oculto,\nwith potential for shallow resources that could be trucked to a future\ntreatment plant at Oculto. The Cerro Viejo area shows potential for\nporphyry mineralization.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n John Miniotis, President and CEO, commented, “Our\nPhase I drill program, which was aimed at expanding the existing large\nresource base at Oculto has already been a tremendous success, wit...
