OSCAR PROJECT
The Oscar Project is a
corridor of multiple high-grade
silver veins linking the past-
producing Cuchara & Santa
Lucia Mines
• High grade silver mineralization
occurs in multiple veins within
the corridor
• Drill results are being studied
with potential to fast track the
Oscar into production in 2013
OSCAR PROJECT
Oscar - Santa Lucia
Corridor Zacualpan District
• Pre-existing mining infrastructure and a
short transport distance to the Guadalupe
mill contribute to future low-cost mining
operations in this zone
• Mineralization connects to the north with
the large historic Cuchara Mine and to the
south with the new Santa Lucia zone
• Drill highlights of 291 g/t silver over 31
meter width and 1,007 g/t over 5.65 meter
width
