MUNICIPIO SAN FELIPE, GUANAJUATO MEXICO

La Lorena is located just north of the Guanajuato Silver Mining District within the Fresnillo Silver Trend and was identified from field work as a Juanicipio look-alike and staked in early 2008. Lorena displays similar surface alteration and trace element geochemistry is of the same magnitude that defined the active structures drilled at Juanicipio and Valdecañas. A past producing kaolin (clay) pit forms from the centre of the target and clearly marks the top of a hydrothermal system common to the genesis of the majority of the producing veins of the Fresnillo Silver Trend. Several areas have been targeted for follow-up. Drilling, to total 3,000 metres, was initiated in late October.
