So let's throw something new out there.

Development and infrastructure go hand in hand. Having read the location description and access thereto, I find it interesting that access is more difficult for the first four months of the year. Since there has been such a claims rush up on our plateau, perhaps it's time SLI and the other stake holders discuss building a bridge. I have gone over the area with google map and I believe the place called Otapara is just south of a place on google map labeled Huarato. There, there seems to be a foot bridge and the beginning of a dirt road network that extends up to Tesoro.

If other companies and our's are stepping up exploration on the plateau at what point may it become viable to build a traffic bridge?

At Kilometre 550 on the Pan American Highway, lies the

Acari turnoff from whence a paved road traverses the approximate 18 kilometres to the pueblo of

Acari, the district capital of approximately 4,000 thousand people. At Acari, basic goods and

services (groceries, water, trucking) are available. The pueblo of Otapara, lies approximately 13

kilometers down a well maintained gravel road from Acari. Otapara, the nearest population centre

(approximately 300 people) to the Project (as connected by road), is a centre of “informale” and

formal exploration and mining operations in the area, as such capable guides, labourers, cooks,

and geological assistants can be hired from the town.

At Otapara, the Acari River can be forded to reach a four-wheel-drive gravel road on the north

side that leads an additional 38 kilometers to the Property. Vehicular access over the Acari River

is only possible when water levels are low; normally between May and December and

intermittently during the rest of the year (however the Property can be accessed by a long

circuitous route via Puquio and Coracora during the rainy season; and a well planned program can

run year round). A network of access roads traverses the Property. Four-wheel-drive vehicles

area capable of accessing almost all areas of the Property due to the terrain (flat and generally

open) of the Property.
