The Northeast Mining Camp covers the major Chontalpan-Cuchara vein system as well as a number of secondary veins.

The Cuchara area saw some initial drilling in 2007. Additional mapping and sampling was carried out in 2008 which defined drill targets in addition to more drilling on the high-grade Oscar Vein and Condesa Vein. The Cuchara and Chontalpan Mines were two of the largest silver producing mines in the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District and the area is considered to hold high potential for additional discoveries.

EXPLORATION

Cuchara Mine
The Cuchara Mine is located 3 km east of the mill. The main shoot has been mined intermittently for hundreds of years and was last in production in 2004. Mapping and prospecting has identified a cluster of at least ten other veins with old workings in this area. Data compilation and surface work is continuing in preparation for further drilling of the Cuchara Vein extension and other nearby veins.

Oscar Vein
One of the veins in the Cuchara area is the Oscar Vein. One hole in the Oscar Vein with results as follows:

Presently, very little is known about this target. More drilling is planned for this new discovery in the near future.

San Antonio Prospect

The San Antonio Prospect is located in the southeastern portion of the Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver District. This is a historical mine marked by a double vein system. One vein is exposed in a glory hole measuring 45m x 3m x 30m deep, which was mined to the water table (no written records are known of who carried out this mining or when this mining was done).

Chip samples taken by IMPACT geologists on surface at the edge of the glory hole assayed 164g/t silver, 3.23g/t gold, 2.65% lead and 0.93% zinc across 3.15m true width. A chip sample taken in an old pit north of the glory hole on the second parallel vein assayed 1,055g/t silver across 1.3m true width. The distance between the veins is 11m. The drill target at San Antonio is the downdip extension of the double vein system below the water table where the old time miners do not appear to have mined the veins. Initial drilling in the zone in 2007 returned the following assays:
