Cerro Delta Project • Mining friendly Rioja province of Argentina; • On same structure 20 km east of 28.8 million oz gold Cerro Casale & 44m oz Au eq. Caspiche; • Contains large +1.5 square km gold anomaly with coincident strong IP anomoly; • Similar porphyry system with high sulfidation epithermal system; • Similar large scale faulting & cross faulting; • The Cerro Delta Project has the potential for both a large low grade porphyry copper gold deposit (Cerro Porfiro) and HS epithermal gold deposit (Cerro Delta).

In the 1980s soil and rock chip sampling by Anglo American at Capiche outlined an anomalous gold zone 650 meters by 300 meters over a diorite porphyry system.
The gold zone covering the Cerro Delta porphyry is approximately 1,500 meters by 1,500 meters

Cerro Delta Project Induced Polarization
Geophysics and Gold in Soil
A subsequent Induced polarization survey done by Anglo outlined an area of chargeability which eventually proved to be core of the 44 million ounce deposit.
At Cerro Delta a very large area of chargeablity is coincident with the porphyry and the gold zone.

The entire Capiche copper gold porphyry discovery is 400 meters long by 300 meters wide and 1200 meters deep.
While the gold zone at Cerro Delta is 1500m by 1500m, the area of chargeability extends to 400 meters deep for a length of 800 meters. The remaining gold zone is above a peripheral HS epithermal system where chip samples from outcrops up to 4 grams per ton have been mapped – typical for Maricunga gold copper deposits.

• As is common among Maricunga gold deposits Cerro Delta consists of a large porphyry system and a peripheral epithermal system the Cerro Casale gold and copper deposit is in both in a porphyry and an adjoining HS epithermal system as is the case with gold mineralization at the Cerro Delta;
• On same geological structure as 44 mm oz/Au eq. Cerro Casale;
• Like Casale and Cerviche, Cerro Delta has a similar sized gold zone on surface;
• Geophysics indicates presence of a large metal-rich body beneath the gold zone in the area of the porphyry;
• Horizontal dimensions of Cerviche is only 300 by 400 meters - Cerro Delta is 1500 by 1500 meters;
• Deep drilling is critical - significant gold mineralization was not encountered at Cerviche until 50 to 96 meters deep due to weathering and cover;
• Drilling at Cerro Delta planned for fall 2011 multimillion ounce target
