Every hole was mineralized, most with intersections of note. Refer to Appendices for all details. The Silver dominant Roadside location and its new extensions are now confirmed as highly mineralized over an extensive area. The mineralization appears directly related to the known IP anomaly there. Summary of Key s and Drilling Activities at Sorpresa At the Roadside location, drill hole Fi 241 has produced the highest grade intersection for Silver seen to date within the Sorpresa Project at any location, exceeding Fi 214 (previously reported 5 th November) 10m @ 535g/t silver(ag) 1 from 70m, including 2m @ 2020g/t silver (Ag) 2m @ 351g/t Ag There is a coincident gold intersection of 10m @ 1.01g/t Au 2 from 70m The intersection occurred in fresh rock within the projected IP chargeability response Hole 241 is located more than 100m east of hole Fi 214 All 8 holes drilled at Roadside East encountered mineralization, including the fresh rock zone Hole Fi 228 had the highest individual gold grade in this round of drilling 16m @ 5.32g/t Au from 36m, including 2m @ 38.2g/t Au 20m @ 81g/t Ag from 34m Northern Roadside located 300m North of hole Fi 214 represents an important new mineralization zone Hole Fi 221 assayed 12m @ 394g/t silver (Ag) from 24m, including 2m @ 932g/t silver (Ag) 2m @ 580g/t Ag 2m @ 400g/t Ag In total 7 new holes were drilled to test for mineralization associated with the IP anomaly and geochemistry Silver assays have confirmed previous field observations Associated gold credits were present, at grades, generally lower than 1g/t Au. Intersections were encountered in each hole and within the fresh rock zone for deeper drilling Cross sections of the assay results at the two Roadside locations reflect sizeable coherent mineralization shapes of significant thickness and length, open in direction Trench 31 (TR31) Location drill assays on the SE extensions provided further gold intersections The best hole was Fi 217 with 8m @ 2.11g/t Au from 46m 10m @ 1.68g/t Au from 58m Hole Fi 236 provided a high grade of 2m @ 10.8g/t Au from 66m Sections will be developed at a later date, when time is available. Of the approx. 2,400m drilled and assayed every hole was mineralized, intersections below the base of oxidation were common in deeper drilling An additional 1,566m of Percussion Drilling has been completed, samples await dispatch for assay Scout Discovery drilling on prospects north and south of Sorpresa was conducted Potentially important alteration minerals were noted in some holes to the South Drilling connecting Northern Roadside to Roadside area was done Field observations (XRF) have identified mineralization intersections in this location 1 Ag was determined by aqua regia digest methods ME-ICP41 (<100ppm) and Ag-OG46 (>100ppm) on 50g subsample charge at ALS Laboratories 2 Au was determined by fire assay method AA26 on 50g subsample charge with AAS finish at ALS Laboratories 1
The Executive Chairman, John Kaminsky, remarked: The Roadside location assays received in the current round of reporting confirm the important and expanding potential shown in this silver dominant part of the Sorpresa Project area. As the best drill hole in the latest sequence, Fi 241 with 10m @ 535g/t silver (Ag) from 70m, including 2m @ 2020g/t silver (Ag), and located 100m to the east of hole Fi 214, demonstrates again that spectacular grade is available. Based on positive soil and auger geochemistry, and observing that this was also coincident with the near surface position of the IP chargeability, the new Northern Roadside location (300m north of Fi 214) was seen as prospective for drilling. The results of the drilling exceeded our expectations, with silver in high grades and widths including Hole Fi 221 assaying 12m @ 394g/t silver (Ag) from 24m, including 2m @ 932g/t silver (Ag). It has become obvious quite quickly at the Roadside location, that we now have a very extensive area growing rapidly, containing excellent grades, all in a greenfield with no prior workings. Gold and silver mineralization is present in the oxide zone and the fresh rock, with solid sections of good width, typically 20m or so, all aligned spatially to the large IP anomaly. We have also just drilled a connecting series of holes between Roadside and Northern Roadside using fairly wide spacing. Field observation suggests all holes are mineralized, a number with likely intersections, based on XRF, so we await these assays in the New Year with great interest. The year has finished on a very positive note, capping off a great period for the Company and we look forward to 2013 with eager anticipation. The Head of Exploration, Colin Plumridge, expanded: Another spectacular round of drilling has been completed. Silver mineralization with gold credits is being encountered regularly, providing high quality intersections at Roadside and progress at Trench 31, albeit not the major focus of this latest round of drilling. Whilst it is easy to simply focus on the excellent silver grades being seen, it should be noted that we again have some decent associated gold values, including 2m @ 38.2 g/t Au in hole Fi 227. We are seeing the silver and gold positions differ across Sorpresa, particularly at Roadside, and as we continue our work, we will gain a better understanding of the distribution of the two metals. The latest Roadside drilling has provided an excellent preliminary test of the IP chargeability response in these areas, where the chargeability values trend closer to surface. Frankly, it is hard to imagine a much better outcome in these results. We are seeing a clear basis for chargeability, including graphite, pyrite and sulphide mineralization all associated with the key mineralization, including the fresh rock zone. This demonstrates the connection beyond reasonable doubt of the mineralization to the IP anomaly. Whilst this is very encouraging, we still need to carefully explore the IP anomaly and meticulously and carefully locate the mineralization specifically within the IP anomaly and its area of influence. The IP response cannot be seen purely as a simple means to a seemless tracking of the mineralization, without continuing to work hard for the best positions for the mineralization to occur. We still need to learn the lessons of how the gold and silver mineralization sits exactly with the IP anomaly on a wider scale, remembering that the anomaly is substantial in size, and the IP survey has by no means covered the target area for mineralization exhaustively. Nevertheless, we now have an important vector to pursue, and this will be factored into our planning. You need to take careful note that the discovery at Northern Roadside in this round of drilling was progressed very rapidly, producing great results, essentially on a scout program. It was underpinned by excellent preliminary field work and modeling to the known IP response in that location. An outstanding outcome, and increases the prospective ground to the north of this new location, as well as making the connection to the original Roadside location. This all occurs just under your feet! 2
These results take the Company to another level. The IP is validated, there is no shortage of high grades of gold and silver from our drilling programs. The cross sections on the mineralization look substantial and coherent, with nice shape and accessibility indicated. The shapes and orientation we are seeing are in harmony with our 3D geological model, certainly at this stage. In addition to the delineation work on the known mineralization, my discovery programs at various locations in the wider district will be rolling out during 2013, so I could not be more delighted with the year immediately past and the prospects looking forward. It will be a very exciting year. Additional Comments on Recent Drilling in relation to the IP Anomaly Drilling concentrated on extensions to the previously reported Roadside Location within the Sorpresa Project including testing of parts of the higher chargeable response (at shallow depths) from the IP survey conducted earlier in the year. Metasediments were encountered with high sulphide content and also graphite both of which would produce highly chargeable responses from an IP survey. The sulphides are thought to be emplaced by a large hydrothermal event (although petrological study is required to confirm field observations). The gold and silver mineralization occupies a structurally controlled position in this rock mass containing sulphides and graphite. The mineralization can be found within or on the periphery of the highly chargeable zone as it is likely part of the same hydrothermal event. (This is relevant to understanding what the greater untested higher chargeable IP response represents with respect to gold and silver mineralization.) As already mentioned, extremely high grades of silver were encountered in drilling the targeted Roadside location mineralization extensions, that lead into the highly chargeable zone (East of Roadside). As mentioned, Fi 241 returned stunning silver grades of up to 2m @ 2,020 g/t of silver in association with lower (but significant) gold grades (10m @ 1.01 g/t Au). This drilling was identified down dip at around 250 metres from the mineralization that breaks surface at Roadside. The highest gold grade in this drilling round, Hole Fi 227 with 2m @ 38.2 g/t gold, is presented on a cross section between previously reported Fi 212 (which returned 2m @ 112 g/t gold) and hole Fi 241. Drilling to the Northern Roadside area encountered further strong silver and significant gold mineralization and has extended the likely strike of the Roadside mineralization to over 300 metres. The drilling was conducted to test the shallowest IP response in vicinity of obviously mineralized outcrop, which was mapped recently and confirmed with geochemistry prior to drilling. The two cross sections presented (Appendix 1A and 1B) show the position of the 14 mv/v chargeable response with respect to gold and silver mineralization. Noteworthy is that the mineralization encountered in the drilling does not occupy the central part of the peak IP response (this is not unusual), however, the dip trend of gold and silver mineralization appears to be closely associated with the dip trend of the IP response. To summarise, the IP response identifies the area where the exploration focus will be likely greatly rewarded, acting as a vector on the mineralization position. The IP also provides clues to the potential strike and dip of the mineralization associated with the high IP chargeability. The excellent results returned from limited drilling undertaken to date in this very small part of the entire IP response that is known, suggests that systematic drilling will translate into more successful mineralization intersections. However, the mineralization still needs to be located, so this requires further work and a continued solid exploration approach.
