Hi Paul. Here is April 30th's description of that same "showing", this is after they did a little more work on it.A new showing of copper mineralization was opened up on the eastern slope of Cerro Carmen during recent road construction. Cerro Carmen is in the northern part of the Coiron property about 3km north of the main porphyry copper target on Cordon de Quelen. The showing is exposed in a road cut about 120m long above the old mill site and beneath an old production pit and adit, all of which are mineralized. The mineralization exposed along the road has been significantly leached in near-surface parts of the outcrop. Notice it is 120 meters not 12 metres. This has since been increased to 200 metres and has visible gold, but untested The one I am referring to is this one, it was also uncovered during the same road construction process. This is why it is imperative I get a map that identifies all the outcropping, intrusives and exposires. This is from the june 9th release There is a series of carbonaceous lutites (mudstones) and volcanic tuffs in the east-central part of the Coiron property. The confluence of two of the larger veins on the property lies within these units. Movement and silicification on these faults has created a breccia that has fostered the movement of gold-bearing fluids. These fluids have been forced to dump their load of gold by reducing conditions generated by the free carbon in the mudstones. The result is a gold-bearing fault breccia that extends over a 70m x 150m area on surface. There could be an en echelon series of these in this area. A 50-chip sample taken over an extensive part of this breccia area shows 6.78 g/t gold and significant silver. It all becomes very confusing when you plot this out in a map. But interstingly enough it all stems back to the original porphry, in some cases,over 3km's away!! I will talk to Rock today and see if I can get the resident "geologist" to give an overview of all of the outcropping/intrusions etc. etc. and where they are in relation to the main porphry. the Chief
