Calcium Carbonate - Quarry
..




Location :
Located on the Somuncura Massif.
Regional Geology dominated by Triassic-Jurassic felsic volcanic rocks. Deposit area is characterized by several known mineral occurrences (fluorite,kaolin and other clays). Little manganese and Pb-Zn-Ag deposits discovered in the vicinity. Altered and mineralized sector of Cerro Choique, is located within Los Menucos Fm (lower Triassic acid ashes and rhyolites). Size of altered/mineralized area is 1,600 m by 600 m.

Mineralization:
Silicification main alteration in the area.
Gold occurrence is related to presence of an extremely silicic ash-flow laced with quartz veins, veinlets, stockworks and hydrothermal breccias which increase in abundance, variety of primary and secondary textures, and gold content into an area approximately 600 m by 400 m.
At least 12 events of quartz injection were detected.

Work :
PHASE 1: Surface systematic chip sampling over an area of 1,600 mt. x 500 m., within a net of 50 m x 50 m
PHASE 2:  4.5 km bulldozer trenches over which systematic chip sampling over the clean exposure. Constructed 8.7 km of access roads and drill platforms.
PHASE 3: RC drilling 6 holes totalling 1,100 m

Results:
PHASE 1: 166 chip samples collected, averaged 168 ppb Au, with extreme values of 35 ppb Au and 902 ppb Au

PHASE 2: 136 chip samples collected, with results up to 2,000 ppb Au

PHASE 3:  Most interesting results as follows
Hole # 2: 649 ppb Au over 1 m and 390 ppb Au over 1 m
Hole # 3: 562 ppb Au over 15 m and 532 over 17 m
Hole # 6: 870 ppb Au over 1 m; 590 ppb Au over 1 m and 450 ppb Au over 1 m
Hole # 7: 590 ppb Au over 1 m and 278 ppb Au over 4 m
Hole # 8: 610 ppb Au over 1 m and 340 ppb Au over 3 m

Property Details & Access:
cover 3,700 hectares
From Buenos Aires to Neuquen city by air (2 hours) then aprox. 290 km by vehicle(include 100 km of good gravel road), travel time approx. 4 hours
Good access all year
.

Other Comments:
Easy access and possibility to extend the exploration area. We also have, other interesting properties both on the NW Argentina as on Patagonia region.
