The 2006 - 2007 drilling was funded entirely by Orex who had the right to earn up to 51% interest in the Pamel Property (See News Release of November 28th, 2005).
Drilling on the property commenced on October 29th, 2006 and was completed on February 22nd, 2007. A total of 2825.65 meters were drilled in 11 holes. Anomalous levels of gold were detected in 6 holes (range 100 to 521 parts per billion (ppb)). The drilling tested high resistivity and low chargeability geophysical targets which coincided with gold in geochemical anomalies. No significant zones of gold mineralization were encountered. However, an extensive (800 X 1500 meters) high sulphidation style alteration zone was defined to depths of 350 meters.
Spectral analysis of the core in a number of the holes drilled at Pamel identified silica-alunite alteration mineral assemblages similar to those seen in other economic high sulphidation systems in Peru such as at Yanacocha and Pierina. The alteration system tested at Pamel is only one of two systems identified on the property (See News Release of February 7th, 2007).
