| Location of the San Acacio Project |
|
The San Acacio property is situated within the Veta Grande mining camp, approximately 10 kilometres north from the center of Zacatecas. The area is undergoing renewed exploration activity as a result of the success of the nearby San Roberto (or Cozamin) mine in the Mala Noche vein operated by Capstone Mining Corp.

| Geology of the San Acacio Project |
|
|
The Veta Grande and accessory veins at the San Acacio property are classic epithermal silver-gold-(high-sulphide) deposits in a number of parallel veins. The Veta Grande veins are predominantly silver bearing, with minor gold and base metals. Other veins being explored in the area are the Calicanto and Buenaventura veins, which are also classic silver-gold epithermal veins.
