Forward Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties beyond the Company's control, including, but not exclusively, statements regarding potential mineralization, exploration results, completion of work program and studies, and future plans and objectives of the Company. Resource exploration, development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.

Qualified Person: Mr Stephen R Maynard, M.S., C.P.G., has acted as the qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical information in this release.

7,100 hectare land position in southeastern Oaxaca State

Sampling of 1960’s era open-pit copper mine returned grades of 1.1% Cu over 25m

500 m strike length of exposed massive gossan along ridge crest, with values of 100’s-1000’s ppm copper

Recent sampling in mine area yielded up to 1.96 g/t Au and 11.65% Cu

Location Eastern part of the historic Copala and Panuco mining districts (Est. Production 200-300M oz Ag)

Average historical grade of a kilo silver per tonne over widths between 1-5 metres

High Grade Silver

Epithermal Vein System

Mapping and sampling delineated a strike length over 1.2km

Exploration Potential

Vein system similar to Copala and Panuco except without any historical mining

Target In-situ zone of silver mineralization 100-200 metres below surface

Exploration Plans

Initial 1500m drill program underway

Projects - Capilla

Oblique view towards northeast of Copala-Panuco district. Historical production At Copala and Panuco was from lower-middle parts of vein systems. Veins at Capilla appear to represent the top of a mineralized system.(43-101 Reserves and Resources listed on map consist of residual mineralization left after historical production)
