Rio Tabaconas Gold Project

The Rio Tabaconas project is positioned inside the prolific Cajamarca copper-gold metallogenic trend in Northern Peru. The trend is host to over 20 major deposits including: the Fruta del Norte gold deposit, Yanacocha, Pierina and the Magunas Norte. The project is road accessible and, as a result, can be worked year round. The Rio Tabaconas property shows evidence of historic mining, including several adits, open cuts and trenches at the Cerro Tablon, Cerro Las Minas and Vegas areas. Cerro Tablon’s main adit shows significant operations with at least 35 metres of underground tunneling. The series of escalating exploration programs signify a high potential for economic gold deposits on the property.

Confirmation of significant gold mineralization at Cerro Tablon and Cerro Las Minas was identified by four campaigns of property-wide prospecting, mapping and geochemical rock, soil and silt sampling.The campaigns were completed between June 2000 and October 2001.

Early indicators of this project’s size and quality started with soil samplings that were so impressive it warranted a second look. Hundreds of soil samples between 350 ppb au and 900 ppb au were recorded and then over 100 samples in the 4km by 2 km zone returned ranges from 900 ppb au to 18,200 ppb au. Geochemistry and IP reinforced the findings of the soil samples which lead to a phase 1 drill program.

At Cerro Las Minas, bulk-tonnage, disseminated gold mineralization is associated with strong to intense phyllic alteration at the West Breccia and Peak Zones, while high-grade (up to 62.9 g/t Au) lode-gold occurs within quartz vein/shear zones at Minas Sur and La Catedral.

There is known high-grade, gold-rich massive sulfide skarn mineralization at Cerro Tablon consisting of gold-rich massive sulphide bodies (pyrrhotite-pyrite-sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite) which replace limestone and occur as stratabound, fault-related, and intrusive contact-related bodies. In addition to these carbonate-replacement bodies, Cerro Tablon also hosts potential for structurally-controlled mineralization at the North and La Union Zones. Some highlights from the 2001 drilling project on the Cerro Tablon area include:

  • 18.0 g/t gold over 16.4m (estimated true width of 7m), including 118 g/t (3.445 oz/ton) over 2.15m containing visible gold in RT-29
  • 4.9 g/t gold over 14.11m (estimated true width of 10m), including 15.2 g/t gold over 2.86m in RT-22
  • 5.1 g/t gold over 9.45m (estimated true width of 6m), including 17.6 g/t over 1.41m in RT-21
  • 13.0 g/t gold over 3.10m (estimated true width of 2.7m), including 33.3 g/t gold over 1.00m in RT-25
  • 8.8 g/t gold over 25.42m (estimated true width of 11.5m), including 19.8 g/t over 2.90m and 12.6 g/t over 7.62m in RT-13
  • 5.3 g/t gold over 17.09m (estimated true width of 11.3m), including 14.2 g/t gold over 2.66m in RT-11
  • 3.2 g/t gold over 21.41m (estimated true width of 12.5m), including 5.5 g/t gold over 6.27m in RT-6

Rio Tabaconas high grade gold project work program for 2011 is to apply for over 20,000 m drilling application that will take it to phase 2 drilling and beyond.

Management

Joseph Grosso – CEO & Director
Mr. Grosso is the founder of Grosso Group Management and a respected entrepreneur with extensive international business experience having operated for decades in various European and Asian countries. From his corporate headquarters in Vancouver, Canada Mr. Grosso has developed a strong network of long term international financial relationships. He has experience in financing, marketing strategies and has successfully formed strategic alliances and negotiated with mining industry majors such as Barrick, Teck, Newmont and Viceroy, now Yamana Gold.

During a family visit to Argentina in 1993 Mr. Grosso met Dr. Vicente Mendez, ex-chief geologist for the government and associate professor at the University of Buenos Aires, who explained the early stage mining opportunities in Argentina. To take advantage of such opportunity, Mr. Grosso formed Minas Argentina S.A. (MASA) with Dr. Vicente Mendez as chief property scout and geologist. Thus the Grosso Group team discovered the Gualcamayo project and eventually Minas Argentinas SA and the Gualcamayo project were taken over and today are managed by Yamana Gold.

Mr. Grosso is a proponent and passionate ambassador of good mining practices and as such has been able to form a committed management group comprised of professionals who are extremely sensitive to the needs of working in mining regions with strong emphasis on community relations and building strong ties with local governments as key components for success.

Of Italian descent and fluent in Italian, English and Spanish, Mr. Grosso lived in Argentina and Peru where he acquired a very deep appreciation for Latin culture and successfully developed a vast network of contacts which have been very beneficial to the associated companies of the Grosso Group.
