RE:Santa Fe 26 veins striking greater than 4km Anyone know if Santa Fe is connected to the power grid? Gleening information from SEDAR doesn't indicate it butthey keep mentioning the possibilty of building of another mill but that requires a connection to the power grid. That would be sweet.
a program of exploration to determine if the Santa Fe Property can be economically exploited. In addition, if the exploration work is successful, the Company has agreed to provide the necessary capital to construct a processing plant capable of processing a minimum of 200 tonnes per day. The Company must also pay US $10,000 monthly while it is conducting exploration and development on the Santa Fe Property.
At the Mina Grande area processing of mineralized material from historical dumps continued. A total of 2,758 tonnes were transported to the plant. During the period September 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, 6,881 tonnes were processed at the plant with average grades of 1.89 g/t Au and 244 g/t Ag.

The Company has also staked an additional two concessions adjacent to the Santa Fe Property.
The property covers approximately 3800 hectares, and previous work has identified ten zones of epithermal veining and mineralization on the property.
This is historical information from a company news release.
The Company has identified 26 other vein systems across the Santa Fe property with several vein systems striking greater than 4 kilometers traced along surface. Of note, the "Clavellinos" vein system, at its north end, has a 40 meter wide mineralized alteration zone with three sub-parallel high-grade epithermal veins emplaced within, including a horizon potentially up to 700 meters (twice the horizon found at the Florida Mine). 4+ kilometers away at the south end, the Clavellinos vein system has variable widths between 5 meters and 8 meters traced at surface.
The work to date has better defined the three main vein systems, all of which trend northwesterly and are sub-parallel with some cross veining. From west to east, these are the Jonas system, the Clavellino system, and the Tajitos system.
Of the three, initial indications are that the Clavellino system is the most extensive, having been traced over a length of more than 3 kilometres. The width of this structure varies from 1 metre to 40 metres. At the south end, multiple quartz veins occur over a width of 30 to 40 metres, with mineralization in the intervening wallrocks. At the north end (El Picacho), the vein structure is more discrete, consisting of a 5.4 metre wide zone of silicification.
