- 2. GOLD History There are several reasons why GOLD has created fascination over mankind since primitive ages. Maybe is because of its shine or its various applications that it has been adored, and used as exchange. Its was the material that embellished faces and enlightened temples, used by goldsmiths, that for centuries have been part of diferent cultures, in places so apart with each other, such as Cuzco, El Cairo or Bangkok. When we look at modern times, we see that GOLD has been the base of the economic development of civilization, established as the standard of value and the best wealth holder in human history.

- 3. GOLD World Market The gold world market moves around 4.000 tons a year: World minig production with 2.500 t/year, central banks 500 t/year, companies 200 t/year and recycling around 800 t/year. Jewellery has the biggest demand for GOLD, it consumes 2.700 t/year. Besides, there is a great demand for industrial applications, dentistry, treasury and investment. The bull market that started in 2003 has not reached its full potential yet, that’s why even if prices don’t break the resistance level of US$1.300/oz in the near future, we still think that GOLD has the best to come . Between october 2008 and september 2010 gold price has gone from U$ 680/oz to almost U$1.300/oz. Capital Gold Mining Resources Copyright © 2010.
- 4. GOLD The value of gold is estimated from the quantity of this metal, inside the total mass, in the alloy that composes a piece. For example: 18k means that from 24 fractions (100%) 18 are gold and 6 of other metals; it is to say 75% of concentration or 750 parts of gold per thousand parts. Historic Prices Quality of Gold PURITY Term used in jewellery. One karat represents 1/24 (4,167%). FINENESS Term used in metallurgy and industrial applications. One part represents 1/1000 (0,10 %).

- 5. GOLD Gold is a metallic rare element with a point of merge of 1.064 º C and a point of boiling of 2.808 º C. Its chemical symbol - Au - is an abbreviation of the Latin word "Aurum", which literally means “dawn that shines intensely". It seems that the word gold comes from a derivation of "yellow", used for the Indo-European civilizations, reflecting one of the most obvious properties of the gold. This is reflected in the similarities of the word in several languages: Gold (English), (German) Gold, (Danish) Guld, (Dutch) Gulden, Goud (afrikaaner), (Norwegian) Gull and (Finnish) Kulta. The last estimations, 2001, indicated that all the exploited and available gold on the terrestrial surface was coming to 145.000 tons From ancient times, for commercial operations in the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East, the carat began to be in use as a measure of the purity of the auriferous alloys. The carat was originally a unit of weight based on the seed of the carob-tree, and used by the former merchants of Middle East. The Romans, were using the name Siliqua Graeca (Keration in Greek; Qirat in Arab; and now carat in the modern times) to name the above mentioned seed. The carat is still used to weight the precious stones or gems (a carat is the equivalent to approximately 200 grams). Capital Gold Mining Resources Copyright © 2010.

Mining Country The mining Colombian industry is one of the most dynamic and promissory sectors of the country, since in only one year the investments have reached 2.000 million dollars and the short term trend do not seem to end. Antioquia Region The potential of Colombia has been confirmed by a recent report of the Fraser Institute in which Colombia appears as the country of Latin America with the second major mining potential of the region after Brazil, if the problems for the exploitation were corrected. This qualification confirmed what the specialists already knew … Colombia is today one of the borders of opportunity in the mining business worldwide Capital Gold Mining Resources Copyright © 2010.

Gold Producing Regions It is constituted by Amalfi, Anorí, Caceres, Caucasia, El Bagre, Nechi, Remedios, San Roque, Segovia, Tarazá, Yolombó, Vegachi and Zaragoza, municipalities of the subregions of the North-east and Bajo Cauca of Antioquia. The territory of the Mining District presents a great diversity of geography, culture and environmental characteristics. With a population superior to 400.000 inhabitants, socially it presents a great diversity of cultures, that started with the great migration, originated by the fever for gold. Its tourist potential constitutes an attractive region, having special interest in the development of the mining tourism, showing the world the traditional exploitation of gold for more than 500 years.

- 10. Regional Information Its area is 8.485 Km2, which is 13.5 % of Antioquia. 98 % of the territory is of thermal hot floors and 2 % is of average floors. It is in the Central Mountain chain, between the mountainous counties of Ayapel and San Lucas, on the basin it goes down the rivers Cauca and Nechí. It is one of the most ancient territories of Antioquia, tied to the existence of rich auriferous deposits. In 1584, four cities were registered for the government of Antioquia, three of them located in this territory: Caceres (1576), Saragoza (1581) and San Jerónimo (1583).

- 13. History of the Cruces de Caceres Mine Medellín 1857 - Panamá 1921 Father of ex president Mariano Ospina. He was principal of the Universidad de Antioquia (1905 – 1911), founder of the Colombian History Academy, founder of the Mining School in 1888 and its principal (1911 – 1921). He helped in the exploitation of the coffee, the manufacture of bricks, beer and the work of the gold. He wrote, between others: Geological review of Antioquia (1911). It outlines on the Geology of Colombia and specially the Department of Antioquia (1911). It was during the exploration that gave origin to these books, that Don Tulio delimited, in person, the zone that nowadays is known by Mina Cruces de Caceres, of which he was the first concessionaire.

Age of the Cruces de Caceres Region CAUCASIA BAJO CAUCA ANTIOQUEÑO CÁCERES ZARAGOZA Mina CRUCES DE CACERES The mine is crossed by the Stock La Tinta, which predominant rock is a diorita with wide variations of textures and composition, especially the quartz diorita. There is no radiometric age for this body, but for its geographical and tectonic location and for its litológic similarity, is considered to be related genetically with the Batolito of Segovia, which has been assigned to the Jurassic.

- 18. Mining SiteConditions The prospectings in the low and medium parts will have a network of perforation with percussion drill of 4 " to 6 " of diameter, the samplings will be taken every meter of perforation, up to coming to rock. The network of perforation will be of triangles with sides of 50 meters. The calculation will be of every triangle separately and then they will be divided equally to have a total result. In the hillside there will be opened apiques of 2x2 meters and trenches of 1 meter of width or 1.5 meters by lengths of 10 or 15 meters. The samples will be taken every 2 meters in the trenches and normally to the direction of the banks and the floor. In the trenches the prospecting will be done by channels in the banks by width of 2 " and depth of 3 " or 4 ". The calculation will be given on the auriferous alluvium rejecting the material of descapote. The unit of measure for the calculation of reservations will be the milligram for m3.
