“The diamond drilling program developed at the Mary Vein has been successful in
demonstrating the continuity and excellent grade of polymetallic mineralization, extending
the economic mineralization 200 meters below the current limit of the Indicated Resources
and 370 meters below current mining operations. Moreover, it should be noted that the
mineralized system continues open at depth", said Jorge Chavez, Corporate Manager of
Geology & Brownfields.
Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA-QC)
Following detailed geological and geotechnical logging, drill-core samples are split at the
site. Half of the core is submitted to the mine´s laboratory for the corresponding chemical
analysis. The remaining half of the core is retained at site for verification and reference
purposes. Following physical preparation, samples are assayed for base metals and silver by
atomic absorption methods utilizing aqua regia digestion. The QA-QC program includes
the blind insertion of certified reference standards, assay blanks, field duplicates (twin
samples), duplicate rejections and duplicate pulps; at a frequency of approximately 1 per 20
normal samples.
