In that map, you can see how close the two mining towns of La Esmerelda and Sierra Mojada are to the property. You can also see that the railway and paved road come right up to the property. The blue fault line separates the north side silver/copper/zinc/lead sulfide mineralization from the south side oxide zinc and oxide lead mineralization. Between the old Palomas Negras mine area in the upper left and the historic district on the bottom right, there's 14 km of virtually unexplored land that has similar geology with the previously mined areas. Also, "With the evidence of the repetitive nature of the mineralization there is high potential for additional discovery at depth." This first world-class zinc ore body, which is only under the far right part of the red area, is really just the tip of the iceberg. I've copied that map in here for easy reference: In this closer up map of the mines, workings, and stopes in the historic mining district on the bottom right, you can see that the vast majority of the 45+ mines were north of the fault, on the silver side: The world-class zinc resource in this first project is under the San Salvador, Encantada, and Fronterieza mines, south of the fault. Stretching 1.5 km, you can see it's only a tiny part of the property before the recent additions. The tour we took was only between the San Salvador and Encantada mine shafts, and it seemed to go on forever. This thing is enormous.
