SAMEX Mining Corp. ("SAMEX" SXG-V) and International Chalice Resources Inc. ("Chalice" IRI-V) have jointly commenced an exploration program on the El Desierto Trend properties situated along the Bolivian/Chilean border. The properties cover a 25-kilometer trend of eroded stratovolcanoes and range-front fault structures. The range-front faults host broad zones of pervasive clay-alunite-alteration and appear to have been altered by acidic/sulfurous hydrothermal fluids. This is evidenced by the historic small-scale mining of native sulfur from some of these zones. Consequently, exploration will focus on delineating targets for bulk-tonnage, low-sulphide/adularia-sericite-type epithermal gold and acid-sulfate-type gold (copper) deposits. Higher in the system, a large volume of hematite (an oxidation product of pyrite and chalcocite [copper]) has eroded from the bowl of a stratovolcano and as a result the trend of stratovolcanoes will also be explored for porphyry copper deposits. The properties are situated in a very favourable geologic and structural setting, approximately 20 kilometers northeast of the world-class Collahuasi and Quebrada Blanca porphyry copper mines in Chile. SAMEX recently granted Chalice an option to earn up to a 35% joint venture interest by expending a total of US $500,000 on the property over a period of 30 months (see SAMEX news release No. 16-99 dated November 10, 1999 for details). Chalice has advanced US $141,500 towards the first option payment to initiate the first phase of exploration on the property. The exploration program will be conducted by SAMEX under the guidance of a joint SAMEX/Chalice management committee. The initial program will include road construction, geologic mapping, trenching, sampling and geochemical analysis with the objective of defining drill targets for the next phase of exploration.
