El Alto massive massive sulphide discovery is located 700m west of the Verdiona Zone and consists of five parallel E-W vein breccias between 0.4 and 1m wide. The veins can be traced in outcrop for approximately 50m, at which point, the vein-zone is covered by overburden. Selected grab samples returned to 9% Cu and 0.2% Zn.

Sampling and Analytical Protocols: Sampling and analytical protocols were implemented and supervised by or under the direction of Dr. Waldo Perez, the Company�s internal Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.  All of the lithogeochemical samples were collected by geologists taking into account the nature of the material being sampled and with due respect to geologic contacts. The individual sample interval varied depending on the location but typically ranged from 0.5 to 5.0 metres. Each individual sample weighted between 2 to 5 kilograms and was collected in a plastic bag, tagged with a pre-numbered ticket and tightly closed with plastic tape. The samples were stored in a secured location at the base camp and were transported by Company professional to Alex Stewart Assayers Argentina S.A. (�ASAA�) laboratories in Mendoza (Argentina). ASAA is an ISO 9001-certified laboratory with headquarters in England. The samples were crushed, dried, split and grinded to #200 mesh. A total of 200 grams of sample have been separated for analysis. All samples were assayed for 39 elements by ICP. The samples were dissolved in Aqua Regia at 120�C and read in ICP-OES. The samples that were above the upper detection limit for Cu, Pb and Zn (1%) for the technique were reanalyzed by dissolving in Aqua Regia again using a larger volume of solution to raise the upper detection limit to 30% for Cu, Pb and Zn. Silver above 200 ppm was re-run by Fire Assay with gravimetric finish. Accuracy and precison of results is tested through the systematic inclusion of certified reference standards, blanks and duplicates.

This news release contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of statements that include words such as �could�, �potential�, �believe�, �expect�, �anticipate�, �intend�, �plan�, �likely�, �will� or other similar words or phrases.  These forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Corporation�s beliefs in potential mineralization, are based on current expectations, assumptions and projections about future events and entail various risks and uncertainties that are beyond the Corporation�s ability to control or predict.  Actual results may materially differ from expectations as more information regarding a property is gathered or if the Corporation�s estimates or assumptions prove inaccurate.  Factors that may materially affect actual results include, but are not limited to, political, business and economic conditions in Argentina and in jurisdictions where the Corporation conducts business, and risks associated with mineral exploration and production.  The Corporation does not intend, and does not assume any obligations, to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by applicable securities law. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The results described herein are exploratory in nature and there can be no assurance that they are indicative of Mineral Resources as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. Historic estimates contained herein do not meet the definition of Mineral Resources as contained in National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators; furthermore, neither the Corporation nor the Qualified Person have reviewed any of the reports or exploration results underlying such estimates and accordingly, such estimates (and any assumptions underlying such estimates) have not been independently verified. As a result, there can be no assurance that such historic estimates are reliable, or that such estimates are indicative of any mineralization which would meet the criteria of Mineral Resources as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. Consequently, no reliance should be placed upon these historical estimates. However, the Corporation believes that these historical estimates may be indicative of the potential for mineralization on these properties.
