Location of main prospects in relation to the Shallow Silver Zone.\nA mapping and prospecting campaign has been underway since March of this year targeting the San Francisco Canyon, Palomas Negros, and Dormidos prospects. This first pass program focused initially on the historical mine workings before expanding into the wider surrounding area. \nFieldwork has confirmed widespread, structurally and lithologically controlled mineralization on all prospects from surface. Two styles of mineralization have been identified in the rocks:\n* Oxide supergene enrichment similar to that seen in the Shallow Silver Zone and which is thought to have resulted from the oxidation and remobilization of original sulphide bodies into highly fractured rock along the fault zones and karst systems in the area.\n* Primary sulphide mineralization seen either as ...
