About El Dovio: Colombian Mines Corp.'s El Dovio project hosts structurally controlled, high grade, gold - poly metallic mineralization comprised of multi-phased coliform banded crystalline quartz containing semi-massive to massive sulfides in metamorphosed thoelitic volcanic rocks of the Cañasgordas Group. Mineralization at El Dovio occurs in four major zones, the Sabana Blanca, Granizales, Platanillal and Brazo 1 zones. Metallurgical characteristics are excellent, yielding greater than 96% of the contained gold, copper and zinc, and 91% of contained silver with conventional flotation.
Additional potential exists to discover bedded VMS style mineralization along an important sediment - volcanic contact that stretches for more than seven (7) kilometers across the El Dovio property and which is similar to that known to host the Atico Mining's, Mina El Roble. The Company has already identified strong gold and copper geochemical results similar to those associated with mineralization in the Sabana Blanc, Brazo 1 and Granizales zones and limited prospecting of this zone discovered bedded sulfides in graphitic sediments.
About Colombian Mines Corporation: Colombian Mines Corp. is an aggressive exploration and development stage company with a distinct "first mover" advantage in Colombia. Focused on developing shareholder value through exploration and development of key projects, the Company is also one of Colombia's leading "prospect generators".
