The drill program is anticipated to include up to 30 holes from 50 to 300 metres in length and will require approximately 45-60 days to complete.\n\n\n \nThe Cerro Cascaron project covers 69 square kilometres in a historic Colonial-era mining district in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental (\"SMO\") precious metals belt of western Chihuahua State.

With the knowledge gained from the fall 2017 Phase 1 exploration program, which included rock and soil sampling results, geologic mapping and adit sampling results, we have a high level of confidence in our targeting and are looking forward to having these high priority targets tested.
