Slide 12: Tatasham magnetic signature
Tatasham magnetic signature as it would look like if you were recording 300 metres below the surface. Classic “doughnut” shape with a magnetic low and resistivity high in the centre. It might look like a meteorite impact crater, but it’s a buried porphyry system. TSXV:ARU OTCQB:AUIAF FRANKFURT:20Q 1

Slide 20: Tatasham: Seed pod in breccia and sinter
TATASHAM: Seed pod caught up in the breccia and sinter …… This is evidence of being at or close to the paleosurface. TSXV:ARU OTCQB:AUIAF FRANKFURT:20Q 20
Slide 21: Tatasham, Near Hole #1
Tatasham, Near Hole #1 More detailed mapping is indicating the sinter is caught up in and adjacent to a breccia pipe. Breccia pipes usually form by phreatic steam eruptions. Because they are porous, they are commonly excellent traps for gold. There are MANY breccia pipes at Fruta del Norte. TSXV:ARU
Slide 22: Tatasham: Sinter Found at Surface
Tatasham: Sinter Found at Surface • Geological evidence of an epithermal system – we do not know whether it is mineralized • Porphyry is below at unknown depth and provided the “heat engine” for geothermal activity • Evidence indicates sinter over at least 1.4 kilometres; this is a big system TSXV:A
