• The State of Durango recently elected a new Governor. First time in over 80 years the winning party is not PRI

• new Governor from PAN (Partido Accion Nacional) won the election on June 5th

2016

• Mr. Gerardo Galaviz, new Mayor of the municipality of Nuevo Ideal, where Tejamen project is located also from PAN elected on June 2016

• State and municipality governments are pro mining, and we have been working with them since they got elected

• We have full support and commitment from the new state and municipal governments

• We built the foundation with the Mexican government; next step is to develop a close relationship with the community

El Sol Overview

• Surface sampling at El Sol (old mine dumps) of up to 358ppm Ag, 1.945ppm Au,19.6% Zn and 22.6% Pb.

• One hole has been drilled (Southern Silver Exploration [SSV], 13CLM-072) andreturned 0.3m (102.5 – 102.8m depth) at 87ppm Ag, 1.88% Pb, 1.01% Zn and0.11% Cu.

• A strong chargeability anomaly runs along the eastern side of the El Sol concession,possibly indicating the presence of sulfide mineralization and northward extensionof SSV’s Blind/El Sol Zone.

• A strong aeromagnetic anomaly is located at the northwestern portion of the ElSol concession, possibly indicating the presence of a mineralizing intrusive.

• An exploration program for 2017 is proposed, consisting of 4-6 holes (total 1500m)to cost US$300,000.

• Possible Joint Venture opportunity

San Lucas Overview

• Two parallel vein structures have been identified in the 3km long mineralized Main Shearzone.

• 79 historical RC holes have been drilled, ranging from about 32m to 259m and averaging158 m in depth.

• Drilling results include up to 2m at 527ppm Ag, with Zn and Pb over 1% (MMSL-46;154m-156m depth).

• And up to 22.9m at 0.78ppm Au and 12.7ppm Ag (SL11-11 500 165 - 240 ft depth).• Exploration upside in the El Doctor vein area (Noche Buena) in outcrop channel sampling

(up to 1.4m at 110ppm Au and 168ppm Ag).• Luismin obtained some very high grade underground sampling results, with up to 256ppm

Au and 391ppm Ag, over 0.55m.• Potential exists for the principal veins below previous drilling depths, where the base of

the volcanic host rocks encounter schist, phyllite and limestone. The sub-volcanic rocksremain untested on the Main Shear areas, where there is significant potential for largemanto deposits.

• A 2005 43-101 compliant Technical Report (Richards) states that a “centre ofmineralization exists in the northern portion of the Main Shear” and that this is an“expression of manto style mineralization at depth”, in underlying carbonate rocks.

• An exploration program for 2017 is proposed with estimated cost is US$850,000.• Consolidate San Lucas land package
