Santa Cruz Gold Projects August 2018
Technical Team Todd Williams Founder and Principal Prior senior role in large-scale greenfields mineral exploration projects in Australia, Todd founded Circum Pacific in late 2015 with the vision of creating a leaner more agile explorer focused on large-scale greenfields opportunities in frontier terranes in Latin America. He holds a BSc (Hons) from the University of Adelaide South Australia. Colin Brodie Country Manager (Argentina) Colin is an economic geologist with 35 years experience in all aspects of mineral exploration, with a specific focus on porphyry and epithermal copper-gold deposits in Peru, Chile and Argentina. Colin was the former Exploration Manager of IAMGOLD in Argentina and was closely involved in Underworld Resources White Gold discovery in the Yukon Territory, Canada. He holds a BSc (hons) from the University of Otago in New Zealand, and MSc in GIS from Leeds University in England Alastair Morrison Advisor Alastair is a geologist with more than 25 years experience in mineral exploration and development in Australia and Africa. Since 2004 he worked for a private resource orientated investment fund evaluating and investing in mining projects around the world. Alastair is a founding director of OreCorp Limited which is currently developing the Nyanzaga Gold deposit in Tanzania.

Central Vein Prospect Drill Proposal Seven RC fences proposed to test 1000m of poorly tested gold silver veins NSR Historic drilling targeted veins from the wrong side of the host fault NSR. 100m. NSR Only one hole SM-12-06 was pushed further and intercepts 1m @ 5.5 gpt Au, 67 gpt Ag from 128m depth. SM-12-06. Western Vein Eastern Vein... Rock Chip AuEq. 100m SM-12-06 Host Fault NSR 1 NSR. Planned hole Historic hole.
Acid Sulphate Prospect Drill Proposal Many bonanza gold systems are associated with feeder structures of barren acid sulphate caps Las Marianas veins, Cerro Negro Hishikari, Japan At least three drill holes planned to test the feeder structure to the SM6 acid sulphate cap
Corona: Similarities to Nearby Cerro Negro? San Jose Trend 3.8 Moz AuEq Cerro Negro Trend 8.1 Moz AuEq Located within the Rio Pintura Fault Zone, host to San Jose and Cerro Negro trends Large area locked up for ten years, no prior drilling Epithermal alteration, veining and sinter deposits exposed at the Corona Norte and Corona Sur prospects Recent ground magnetics and Induced Polarisation (IP) surveys has defined drill targets at Corona Norte Corona Trend? No prior drilling 1200m of drilling planned
Corona: Geophysics Confirms Target Beneath Sinter 300M Narrow resistivity target silicified structure or vein (?) IP Resistivity Line Ground Magnetics Low High Corona Norte Sinter Deposit Rock Chip Arsenic Broad chargeability high, alteration halo (?)
