Mecatona Gold/Silver Project
LocationCamino Minerals holds three projects (Rodeo, El Rincon and Mecatona) located within the Central Mexican Silver Belt, which has produced more than 3.3 billion ounces of silver and 5.8 million ounces of gold, and a large project (Maijoma) which covers a newly-recognized mineral district in northeast Chihuahua State.The Mecatona gold prospect is located 20 kilometers south of the city of Parral and is comprised of 7 mineral claims covering 5,300 hectares (20.5 square miles). The property is easily accessed by paved and gravel roads. In the Mecatona district, basal Lower Cretaceous sediments are overlain by Tertiary volcanic and associated minor granitic intrusive rocks. The property geology is dominated by Tertiary flow-banded rhyolites (rhyodacites) with minor rhyolitic flow breccias. Preliminary mapping and rock sampling on the Mecatona property has outlined a broad north-northwest trending vein swarm and alteration corridor which has yielded strong silver and base metal lithogeochemical anomalies. Camino Minerals holds a 100% interest in the Mecatona property, subject to an underlying finder's fee with La Cuesta International (a privately owned company whose two principal partners are Perry Durning and F.L. "Bud" Hillemeyer). | |
