VETAS GRANDES (Au-Ag) Gran Muralla Vein
VETAS GRANDES (Au-Ag) Extensive surface sampling, trenching and geophysical surveys completed. Several large, 3m to 7m veins and quartz vein/vein breccia/stockwork forming swarm striking east-northeast over 1.4 km. Excellent correlation between mapped veins, rock assay results, soil geochemistry and IP chargeability anomalies. Upper part of veins have elevated levels of arsenic, mercury, antimony, selenium and tellurium and display diagnostic textures indicative of boiling zone with bonanza grades focused at the 3,200 m elevation. Masucay vein: 3.4m grading 53.4 g/t Au and 641.0 g/t Ag, elevation 3200 masl. Proposed phase 1 drill program: 2500 metres 20
VETAS GRANDES (Au-Ag) Summary Drill-ready property Drill targets identified, once funding in place permitting should take 6 8 months. Potential to host significant epithermal Low Sulphidation (LS) to Intermediate Sulphidation (IS) style gold-silver deposit, covers 4700 hectares, located 15 km SW of Loma Larga (formerly Quimsacocha). Regional mapping and prospecting work suggest that Vetas Grandes could be part of a new mineral district

BELLA MARIA (Au-Cu) Summary Initial results indicate excellent potential to host significant porphyry and structurally controlled (breccias and veins) gold and copper mineralization. Stream sediment samples collected across the property are exceptionally anomalous in gold. Large (3 by 2 km) coincident gold - copper molybdenum in-soil anomaly identified in central part of property. Four mineralized prospects have been identified so far through limited field work. Strong gold-copper mineralization found by drilling just south of property 25

CAÑA BRAVA (Au-Ag-Cu) Summary Property hosts two large HS epithermal gold-silver zones defined by extensive hydrothermal breccia and silica ribs developed within an argillic alteration lithocap. West Zone (Caña Brava Breccia) covers 2.5 km by 2 km and is coincident with a 3 km by 1 km multi-element soil geochemistry anomaly. East zone shows similar HS system measuring 1.75 km by 1 km, open in most directions. Strong indications of a possible porphyry gold-copper target beneath the Caña Brava Breccia and lithocaps 29

Regional exploration program specifically designed to identify buried porphyry Cu-Au and large epithermal Au-Ag mineralized systems. Mirasol-Prospect Titan 36 Work done in 2011 and 2012 outlined anomalous precious and base metals zones associated to epithermal altered zones.
