The Chinipas property covers 1,421 hectares and is located 13 km north of the town of Chinipas.At Chinipas, gold mineralization occurs in sheeted quartz-pyrite-tourmaline veins and veinlets hosted by a strongly fractured quartz-feldspar porphyry. Local prospectors have mined coarse, visible gold from several veins on the property. Sampling of the veins has returned 17.65 g/t gold over 15 cm, 2.92 g/t gold over 2.0 metres, 2.49 gold over 1.3 metres and 2.14 g/t gold from a 3.0 metre by 3.0 metre panel sample. Veining occurs along a 3.5 km long northeast-southwest trend. Drilling was carried out to test the area of most intense veining covering a 1.2 km strike length and 0.5 km width. Of the eight holes drilled, three holes returned values as follows:
