Over the past 18 months the Company has worked to define and prioritise drill targets at Alta Victoria. The following three targets will be tested by drilling:
1.
Surface sample results from Highlander´s work that help define the target include the following rock chip values within a coincident Pb-Zn soil anomaly:
1.2 g/t Au, 155 g/t Ag, 6.1 % Pb, 0.8% Zn
2.0 g/t Au, 228 g/t Ag, 11.8 % Pb, 1.5 % Zn
0.1 g/t Au, 132 g/t Ag, 6.7 % Pb, 6.7 % Zn
2.
The target comprises a combination of geological, geochemical and geophysical features. Mineralised, sub-vertical feeder structures with veins and breccia bodies form a northeast trending structural corridor extending 500 metres to the Adriana North prospect area. Rock and soil sampling define surface mineralisation along 200 metres of this corridor within the Jumasha Fm. Manto style mineralisation is exposed in the underground workings where historic sampling encountered high grade skarn, manto and vein mineralisation. Select rock chip sampling by Highlander and previous historic underground rock sampling include the following values:
270 g/t Ag, 0.3 % Cu, 11.3 % Pb, 23.7 % Zn
239 g/t Ag, 0.5 % Cu, 10.7 % Pb, 31.0 % Zn
229 g/t Ag, 0.5 % Cu, 11.3 % Pb, 30.1 % Zn
225 g/t Ag, 0.07 % Cu, 10.2 % Pb, 4.6 % Zn

3.
Drilling will target silver-manganese mineralisation with highly anomalous lead and zinc seen in outcrop as chimney-style replacements. Vertical zonation documented at the Uchucchacua mine suggests that silver, lead and zinc values may increase with depth.
Additionally drilling will test structural zones cross-cutting the highly prospective
