All analyses were carried out at ALS Patagonia Laboratories, Coquimbo, Chile.
Peter LeCouteur, PhD, PGeo is the qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 in charge of the program. The results should be considered preliminary exploration data.
Copaquire is located in northern Chile on the West Fissure which hosts some of the largest copper-molybdenum porphyry mines in the world. It is the last well-exposed major porphyry system in Chile yet to be fully explored. The company has an option to purchase a 100 per cent interest in the property. The current program is designed to expand upon the interim resource reported in the news release of 1 October 2007 that is summarized below:

A considerable amount of the higher-grade resource is above the valley floor and without any barren rock cover, an advantageous situation absent in most similar deposits, and a feature that the company will exploit to the fullest.
