The La Martina discovery was made on the basis of regional geological and geophysical magnetic analyses followed up with field reconnaissance, mapping and sampling.\n\n\nLa Martina, which is located approximately 45 kilometres west-south-west of the City of Vallenar and 17 kilometres south-west of the Cerro Blanco project, consists of 6 registered exploration concessions. These concessions cover an area of 1,288 hectares, comparable in size to the area covering the current eight known prospects at Cerro Blanco.\n\n\nAlteration and mineralization at La Martina is similar to that observed on the Cerro Blanco project. The TiO2 mineralization is hosted on albitized gabbro and is composed principally of disseminated rutile, rutile veins, a mixture of disseminated rutile and leucoxene as well as minor disseminated sphene (titanite). Initial assay results from surface rock geochemical samples taken from two outcrops located approximately 3 kilometres apart range from 0.88% to 2.1% TiO2. Further assay results are expected within the next two weeks.\n\n\nCommenting on the discovery of La Martina, Brian Flower, the Company's Executive Chairman, stated that \"Having made four new rutile prospect discoveries on the Cerro Blanco project in 2012, we have recently extended our geologic targeting and prospecting approach elsewhere in Chi...
