PLA model is based on the research and experience of president and CEO Mike Clarke, who started working on silver-gold vein formations in Mexico's prolific San Dimas district back in the early 1970s. Clarke developed an appreciation for epithermal-style deposits, and ended up writing his doctorate thesis on the subject at University of Arizona. During my work on these high-grade deposits it really struck me just how blind these things could be,” Clarke explains. “We did a lot of work on fluid inclusions and other variables, and came up with a conclusion that in large part it had to do with the hydrothermal fluid flow paths and how these things often reach the surface, if at all, in very meagre proportions. That seemed to support the observation we had, which was that you go could go around and be standing on one of these high-grade deposits and not see anything.” Properties Naranjillo, Vaquerias, Palo Alto, Los Agustinos, and La Joya. We had our ore horizon model and combined that with the observation that you get these tremendous high-grade districts that occur in a tight belt,” Clarke continues. “We went over a lot of government maps and geophysics, and bought an office in Mexico, which was basically an old Toyota. As you drive between the deposits in the Mexican silver belt you see very little, and so we decided to look for areas where you see indications on the surface that could point to an underlying district. Clarke says the 307-sq.km Naranjillo property in Guanajuato, Mexico, immediately rose to the top of the list. We had the alteration on the surface, which was beautiful stuff, but we really didn't find any silver during sampling,” Clarke adds. “For the most part it wasn't even detectable, but that fit into the model we had. It took a bit of courage, but once we saw results from that initial drill program we felt we'd been successful finding one of these buried projects. PLA drilling at Naranjillo has unveiled the presence of a multi-vein, silver-gold system. The company initially discovered the Villa vein when hole N-10 cut 7.75 metres true width of 3,181 grams silver per tonne and 13.29 grams gold per tonne from 585 metres down hole. Subsequent drilling has extended Villa over a strike length of 500 metres, with the vein system remaining open to the north and south. PLA continues to put together more data on Naranjillo's sub-surface geology, and hopes to get drills mobilized on the site for a follow-up program by early 2014. Additional exploration is also planned at Vaquerias, where preliminary drilling — targeting historic mine workings — intersected 0.55 metre grading 727 grams silver and 0.24 gram gold from 168 metres depth in hole V-4.
