(i) True widths are estimated to be roughly 70% of drill intercept length.  



The depth of the three angled holes ranged from 88.9 to 127.4 metres in depth,
for a total of 330.7 metres. Including previously released holes 2012-1 through
4, the seven holes have tested a strike length on the El Tajo vein of 420
metres. An 8th drill hole has been drilled on the El Tajo vein during this
phase, approximately 50 metres south of hole 2012-7, and the Company is awaiting
assay results from that hole. The first phase program will also test portions of
three other mineralized zones within the property area, including La Florida,
Bocancha and La Colorada. 


Highlights from the drill holes 2012-1 through 4 included an intercept of 2,745
g/t Ag over 2.0 metres on hole 2012-3. Complete highlights from these four holes
are available in our news release dated February 29, 2012. 


Assaying from this program was completed by ALS Chemex through their office in
Guadalajara, Mexico. Analytical procedures include a 33-element ICP-AES analysis
(ME-ICP61m) and a 50 g FA AA finish for gold (AA-24). Silver assays exceeding
100 g/t are re-assayed by HCL leach with an ICP-AES or AAS finish (OG62). Jim
Robinson, C.P.G., the Company's Senior Geological Consultant and Advisor, and a
Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has designed and supervised
the program, and reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
