Bema commenced exploration fieldwork in October 1989. The mine first operated from 1996 to 2001. Mining operations at Refugio were suspended during the second quarter of 2001, a result of depressed gold prices. Improving gold prices during 2002 prompted CMM to
evaluate options for re-opening the mine

Gold mineralization at Refugio has been interpreted as porphyry style gold systems and is hosted in the Refugio volcanic-intrusive complex of Early Miocene age. The porphyries occur
within a sequence of intermediate tuffs, porphyries and breccias that are the host rocks to the gold mineralization.
