First Quantum
Quick blurb on potential copper investments in Argentina including First Quantums Taca Taca project which in right next door to Cascadero. FQ paid Illumina 470M 10 years ago for the property and it looks like they will make a decision this year on moving forward or not. What if anything will be the impact on Cascadero?? Lot's of speculation that is for sure. BIll met with FQ years ago as he and others are convinced FQ will need our Sarita Este property at some point. And if things work out they may even want it.
Bill wanted more than FQ was willing to pay then, but now that Golden Minerals has found some potentially economic gold on SE it makes things even more interesting indeed. Need to get that Desierto 1 property situation concluded so drilling can commence to see if mineralization continues into Desierto 1 from SE and potentially is one large porphyry system. If that is the case than the value of SE goes up exponentially adding more drama to the situation. Potentially tough decsions ahead for FQ.

Lots of other proerties in the Cascadero portfolio as well that need to get discovered at some point in the future. And there is no lack of interest in Argentina these days.
