USE OF PROCEEDS
Approximately $1.5 million will be used to commence collection of data to advance the Tahuehueto Project into pre-feasibility studies. Work will consist of one or more of the following initiatives:
- geotechnical slope stability drilling at the Cinco de Mayo zone in order to prove stability of the cliff face above the zone so that the zone may be brought into the open-pit mining plan

- collection of environmental data necessary for pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for future mine planning
Approximately $400,000 will be used to fund a preliminary exploration program on the Jocuixtita Project. This program would include:
