A.C.A. Howe makes the fist interpretation of the San Javier, La Diana properties in Guerrero Mexico. Very interesting is slide 12. The dark pink is called by the locals "old granite" and is supposed to be the volcanic source rock of the silver. It covers 70% of the San Javier property. middle pink is supposed to be granite and should carry additional silver

Project Summary
May, 2012
2. San Javier & La Diana Concessions

3. San Javier – Vein Locations
Mill area
Veta Ancho
Veta Tajo
Camp area
500 metres
4. Project History
Historical small-scale production of silver limited to Veta Ancha and
other ‘major’ veins on east side of river in the San Javier area.
Operations at small 30 tpd mill ceased in 1993. Total silver
production unknown.
San Javier and La Diana have undergone no systematic exploration.
5. Veta Ancha Area – east side of river
NE-SW strike, SE dip. Approximate 3 m width; exposure width is up
to 5 m but is not true width. Observable strike length 100 - 150 m
Other veins on east side of river are 50 cm to 2 m wide on exposed
surface (not true width)
Exposure of Veta Ancha

creek bed
6. Veta Ancha Area – east side of river
Veta Ancha yields ‘Bonanza’ silver (kg/t) grades typical of Mexican
epithermal systems.
7. Veta Tajo Area – west side of river
Veta Tajo represents a previously
unrecognized, unexplored and
unexploited area of significant
veining.
Channel sampling of Veta Tajo in 80-100 m
vertical span of
2011 yielded ‘Bonanza’ silver (kg/t) veining
grades.
Veining spans an 80-100 m vertical
rise from river edge to top of hill.
Howe’s field work appears to
indicate the veining extends into
the areas north and south of Veta Looking SW from Veta
Tajo. Ancha towards Veta Tajo
8. Veta Tajo Area – west side of river
Howe’s April 2012 field work
at Veta Tajo collected a total
of 619 samples (rock
grab, chip channel, soil and
Camp
area
stream sediment samples).

9. Veta Tajo Area – west side of river
Veining is ‘stacked’, horizontal to shallow-dipping, and consists of:
A set of 0.8 – 1 m thick veins dipping 40 – 60° to east
A second set of 25 – 40 cm thick veins dipping 25 - 35°
A third set of 2 – 5 cm thick veins dipping flat to 15°
10. Veta Tajo Area – west side of river
Veining appears to be associated with E-W structures cross-cutting
the ‘Old Granite’ host rock which Howe suspects is strongly silicified
felsic volcaniclastics.
11. Satellite Imagery Study
Generate a lithostructural interpretation map to aid exploration
Identify structural detail within the project area
Identify further targets for exploration
Generate a digital map output in ArcGIS format for integration with
exploration database
13. Recommendations
San Javier Concession
Expansion of systematic mapping and channel sampling to the areas
north and south of the Veta Tajo area.
Identification of diamond drill targets within the Veta Tajo area.
Systematic sampling, mapping and geophysical surveying (IP and/or EM)
of Veta Ancha and other major veins on the east side of the river.
Prospecting for additional low-angle veining on east side of the river.
La Diana Concession
Airborne geophysics: magnetics, EM and radiometrics.
Follow-up prospecting and sampling of geophysical anomalies.
