Cocula Advanced Gold Project
Description
The Cocula project covers a 233.5 hectare land package that hosts part of
a regional structural trend of gold, silver and base metal prospects. Cocula
is an epithermal deposit with veins and breccia zones forming mineralized
shoots hosted in intrusive rocks.
The gold-rich breccia structure has a surface expression on the project of
at least 800 metres along strike and is open in both directions and down
dip. The project was previously explored by Timmins Gold, now Alio Gold,
(“Timmins”) until July 2011.
Channel sampling by Timmins across the outcrop of the Cocula breccia
returned 136m with 2.39 g/t Au, 19 g/t Ag, 1.07% Pb and 0.12% Zn. High
grades of up to 25 g/t Au were reported for individual samples.
In 2008, Timmins drilled 27 RC holes (1,974 m) and confirmed the
continuity of the Cocula breccia along 800m of strike, open in all
directions.

Timmins Gold Drill Intercepts
Some examples of Timmins’ 2008 drill intercepts are:
Drill hole RCC-01 returned 7.5 m of 5.8 g/t Au within a longer interval of
37 m of 1.3 g/t Au, 13 g/t Ag, and 1.1 % Pb from the surface,
Drill hole RCC-09 cut 10.5 m with 1.76 g/t Au and 13.5 m with 1.37 g/t
Au within a larger interval of 54 m with 0.72 g/t Au, 8.9 g/t Ag, and
0.96% Pb,
Drill hole RCC-10 has an intercept of 37.5m with grades of 1.2 g/t Au, 13
g/t Ag and 1.34 % Pb that includes two narrow intervals of 3.0 m with 6.3
g/t Au and 7.5 m of 3.0 g/t Au.

20. TSX Venture: SSE
Pino de Plata – Three Target Types
Carbonate Replacement Targets
The Santa Elena gossan area presents a viable target for replacement Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu
deposits. Unoxidized replacement mineralization from the Santa Elena Mine
approaches 6.4 opt (200 g/t) Ag. This area has the potential for relatively shallow
replacement mineralization over an area of >20 Ha.
Epithermal Targets
At the Terrero target, an area of over 20,000 square metres (>2 Ha), the replacement
epithermal mineralization in igneous rocks contains good silver grades at surface in
unoxidized rock. Seven out of the nine samples contained >1 opt (31.25 g/t) Ag up to
17.8 opt (557 g/t) Ag. Little additional work in the way of mapping and sampling is
required prior to drilling this prospect. ProDeMin recently sampled 1130 g/t Ag with
3.72% Pb for 1278 g/t AgEq.
Vein Targets
The Sierpe I & II and Theodora veins are open on strike and have indications of high
grade Ag >8 opt (250 g/t) Ag and reasonably minable widths ≥1m. Newly exposed, Ag-
mineralized quartz veins in road cuts to the west along with favorable alteration west of
the Sierpe and Theodora mines make these attractive vein targets.
21. TSX Venture: SSE
El Terrero Mine
Disseminated epithermal mineralization in strongly argillized igneous rocks contains
high grade silver at surface.
Seven out of nine samples contained >1 oz/t (31.25 g/t) Ag and up to 17.8 oz/t
(557 g/t)Ag.
Pino de Plata Project
Geological Target Types - Epithermal
Terrero Vein sampled in 2019 by ProDeMin 1130 g/t Ag with 3.72% Pb for 1278 g/t AgEq
22. TSX Venture: SSE
Twelve targets were identified for immediate Phase I drill testing.
Gossans in the Gossan zone, skarn/replacements at Santa Elena, the El Terrero
mine target, the la Perla vein and associated alteration zone, the Santa Clara
vein, the Theodora vein, the Sierpe veins and associated alteration, and the
newly defined Muro vein.
Based on field observations, El Terrero and Gossan are large targets with
potential for encountering wide zones of mineralization. Both areas exhibit
strong iron oxides after original sulfide minerals.
The Terrero target is a relatively flat-lying body that appears to consist of
multiple structures associated with strong argillic alteration and abundant iron
oxides and jarosite.
Surface exposures and dumps have yielded high silver and base metal values,
and similar assays were reported by the government geological survey from
underground workings.
