Hello Don!

I have been to Lluvia de Oro. Were you running one of the mining contractors that continued running the leach pad with raw ore after the operator went bankrupt a few years ago?

I have also been to a couple of the GGI projects, including Tonichi, where the alteration is outcropping along the main highway, although it is not mineralized at that zone.

I will be returning to Chihuahua next month to tour San Miguel with PZG, and GGI is a significant shareholder of PZG and thus leveraged to its success.

All of these projects have strong discovery potential but have been largely overlooked due to the difficult terrain and lack of local infrastructure. There are a number of old mine workings in the region as you pointed out, but they were operating in an era when operations were focused on extremely high grade ore zones, and thus a smaller scale mine was profitable. Almost no modern exploration work was employed to outline new ore bodies. I believe there is great potential for new high grade resources to be found as companies like GGI go into these districts with modern geophysical programs, interpreted by talented geos, and invest in drill programs to test the targets that are developed.

cheers!
