The Company has received and is pleased to announce drill results for diamond drill holes (DDH) Curi-10-61 through Curi-10-64:
-- Curi-10-64 intersected 8.85 meters at 5.83 g/t Gold, 179.62 g/t Silver,
8.07 % Copper, 0.85 % Lead and 6.33 % Zinc
-- Curi-10-63 intersected 4.91 meters at 1.25 g/t Gold, 30.32 g/t Silver,
2.88 % Copper and 6.24 % Zinc
-- Curi-10-62 intersected 6.04 meters at 5.50 g/t Gold, 102 g/t Silver,

The above information has been prepared under the supervision of Tom Healy P.Eng. who is designated as a Qualified Person as defined by NI-43-101 with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.
A QC program was used whereby 5% of all samples sent to the laboratory were standard samples with known silver and gold values. Sample preparation was performed by BSI Inspectorate Quito, Ecuador, using standard industry practices (sample prep minus 32). Analytical work was carried out at the BSI Inspectorate Laboratory in Lima, Peru, using fire assay methods for gold (Au-25 procedure). Standard samples, blanks and duplicate check samples were randomly inserted to the sample batch to ensure quality control.
