La Casita Project, Optioned to Geologix

The La Casita mineral property is located 5.5 km from the town of Rodeo, 163 kilometres north of the major capital city of Durango, Mexico. The easily-accessible property lies at the eastern margin of Sierra Madre Occidental, very close to the high plateau and shares the same basic geology as many of the precious metals prospects in this belt. It is considered a prospective early-stage exploration property. Work done on the La Casita property by Autlan in 1997, resulted in a new discovery of epithermal gold mineralization.

During 1998, rights to La Casita were transferred from Autlan to Grupo, and an I.P. survey, some soil geochemistry lines and a reverse circulation drill program consisting of 14 drill holes totalling 1740 meters was carried out, testing several mineralized structures in silicified and pyritized breccias, where the gold mineralization is hosted. The conclusions of this program indicated that further exploration at a greater depth and towards Cerro Colorado hill would be merited. More recent exploration performed in adjacent mineral claims by unrelated exploration companies has provided the Company with encouraging information to proceed with further exploration at La Casita.

As announced on January 21, 2008, the group of claims integrating La Casita was optioned to Geologix Explorations Inc. of Vancouver, BC.

Rock-chip sampling on the claim group performed by Geologix has returned assays up to 1.84 g/t gold and 247 g/t silver in silicified stockwork and breccia zones hosted in subvolcanic rhyolites found on the property. Colluvium and post mineral volcanics commonly mantle the gold-bearing rhyolites at La Casita-Los Arados, especially along the northeast flank of a prominent peak on the property called Cerro Colorado. In that zone, scattered rhyolite outcrops have returned assays of more than 1 g/t gold along a northwest trending corridor for at least 950 metres. A similar corridor of gold mineralization occurs a kilometre southeast of Cerro Colorado and trends east northeast along the south flank of a rhyolite ridge called Cerra La Amarilla. That zone is at least 1000 metres long.

More information will be added to this website as exploration progresses.
