The second hole is underway approximately 350 metres to the north and is currently above the
low-angle fault in Mississippian clastic rocks, which the Company's geologists believe could act as a "cap rock" by ponding mineralizing fluids beneath the
low-angle fault at this location.
Drilling on the Pozo target, a few hundred metres to the southeast of El Creston, intersected gold mineralisation associated with a
low-angle fault contact between overlying sediments and basement gneiss.
High-angle surface faults may join these major crustal
low-angle faults. Although in this region it is difficult to relate the surface motion to the seismic activity at depth.

low-angle faults: Colorado extensional corridor, California and Arizona.
