  El Transito Deposit This deposit was chosen for initial attention by Starcore because it has an established ore reserve and appears amenable for low-cost, fast track production. Subjected to significant exploration and underground development costing $2.4 USD million, the property also has a positive Prefeasibility Study prepared by a major independent engineering consulting firm. Of the mineral resource base of 552769 tonnes grading 11.2 oz/tonne silver, 2.6% lead, and 5.3% zinc, a large portion appears to be amenable to open pit mining methods  Click on map to view enlarged
Upside Potential from Further Exploration of Cerro Dolores It is management's intention to re-invest a portion of any cash flow from the El Transito property toward the exploration and development of other areas at Cerro Dolores. Previous work has identified mineralization over vertical and strike dimensions of 600 and 4000 meters respectively. It is believed that there is a strong possibility of developing reserves at Cerro Dolores in the 3-5 million tonne range grading some 11 oz/t silver and a combined 8% lead-zinc.

Luismin had prepared a reserve estimate in 1998 based on underground development and drilling. Those resource estimates do not follow the required disclosure for reserves and resources as outlined in National Instrument 43-101 as they were prepared in the 1980's prior to NI 43-101. The historic resource figures generated by Luismin have not been redefined to conform to the CIM approved standards as required in NI 43-101. The resource estimates have been obtained by sources believed reliable and are relevant but cannot be verified. No effort has been made to refute or confirm these estimates and they can only be described as historical estimates.
