VALUE INVESTMENT

More than $50 million spent on our properties to date. Nearly $1 million income in 2011. 163,000 oz. of gold (historic) at Arroyo Verde. 108 holes all carrying values at San Roque Some drill intercepts contain bonanza grades

exceeding 1,000 g/t silver and 5% copper at Tourel 5 million ton Cu, Ni, Pt, Pd, Au resource at Las Aguilas. Our projects are close to Infrastructure.

WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT

We are project generators not operators. We acquire good properties, add value, and then

farm them out. By keeping a royalty and a stake in the property Marifil’s  value  grows  and  so  does  it’s  share  price.

We generate cash flow from property payments. We maintain a pipeline of properties to replace those

sold or joint ventured.
