El Arco, Mexico
El Arco Highlights
- Vein mineralization is similar to that at Fresnillo`s La Cienega mine, Durango (2009 production 1,589,000 oz Ag, 116,903 oz Au, 6118 t Lead, 7950 t Zinc. Average grade Ag 4.3 g/t ).
- Located in the Central Plateau gold and silver belt, near the historic silver/lead/zinc district of Tejamen.
- El Arco demonstrates low sulphidation epithermal style banded quartz veinlets. Similar to those found at the surface in the La Cienega District hosted with in the historically unexplored Rhyolites.
- Surface samples have confirmed the presence of both high grade gold and silver.
- El Arco is located in a historically high Gold Silver trend. Numerous mines are located in the area including the La Cienga mine (Fresnillo PLC – The world’s largest primary Silver producer) which at this moment is the largest producing Gold Mine in Mexico. The mineralization at El Arco is remarkably similar to this highly productive mine. Also of note is the San Dimas mine that was sold by Goldcorp for half a billion dollars US earlier last year.
