  8. SamalayucaCopper Mineralisation Model • 3 Principal Types of Possible Mineralisation

  9. SamalayucaCopper Mineralisation Three Types of Mineralization in Samalayuca Model • Original diageneticstratiform copper mineralisation • Lateral zonation of copper mineralisation • Copper content ranges from 0.25% to 1% • Secondary structural enrichment • Results from stratification • Quartz vein remobilisation. • Copper content ranges from 1% to 2% • Supergene Enrichment • Surface lixiviation • Enrichment along vertical fractures in oxididation zone. • Enriched sulfides in zone. • Copper content is 2% and higher

  10. Samalayuca Typical Stratiform Mineralisation Typical mineralisation of chloritisedquartzitic-arenite beds (20-100cm) with low grade mineralisation, with rarely observable copper sulfides dissemination. Malachite-chrysocola fractures with up to 1-2% Cu.

  11. Supergene(black zone) • Enrichment is late geological phenomenon due to meteoritisation, where the original mineralisationis transfomed and remobilised lower in the host rock. • Meteoric waters intrude along porosity and structural weak planes to attack original minerals, such as sulfides to transformed them into secondary minerals, such as hydroxydes-oxydes-carbonates). • Secondary minerals are remobilised and concentrate along fault and fracture zone. • Possibility of copper enrichment by circulation of copper ion (Cu++) absorbed by sulfides all along the descent. • Geochemical change is more intense in reduced oxidation conditions. • Supergene copper content over 2% SamalayucaSupergene Enrichment

  14. Recommendations for Samalayuca Property • Complete permittingprocess • Drill area chosen for heapleach pads to insureagainstcoveringmineralization zone • Start Pilot Mine • Complete the resourceevaluation of the balance of the Kaity claim and if appropriateKaity II

  15. Meus • 100% Camex Owned Mexican Company • Escondida • Located in Northern Sonora State of Mexico • 70 K from Arizona border, 140 K from Tuscon • Contains significant silver with gold, copper and lead • Surface samples contained more than 100 ounces of silver per ton • 43-101 in progress—expected by end Q1 of 2012 • Cerro Blanco • 50 K from La Escondida is under option • A gold, silver, copper project with a breccia pipe that strongly suggests a large porphyry deposit at depth

  17. Escondida • Escondida project is located in Central Sonora, Mexico, 140 K south of Tucson Arizona. • Property covers 178 hectares with three major mineralization structures. • Initial exploration campaign was begun in July 2011, with 116 samples taken as the mapping of the property was completed. • The property show very interesting high grade values of silver, and considerable values of gold—12 samples had more than 300 grams of silver per ton and 7 had over 0.5 grams of gold per ton. • An initial 43-101 is in progress with expected completion in Q1 of 2012.

  26. Recommendations for Escondida Property • First completea groundmagneticsurvey to delineate the gabbro competent mass within the incompetentturbiditesequence • Engage a geophysicist to carry out a 3D mag inversion thatcanbeintegrated in a 3D GIS software • Plan a couple of diamond drill holesthatwouldtarget: 1) pressure shadow zone in the gabbro mass and 2) probe a possible saddlereefstakingbelow La Generosa, La Abundancia and La Discreta ‘veins’ • Thesethreestepscanbecompletedrelativelyquickly and cheaply to determine if Escondida isindeed a large depositor simply gold silverveinlets.

  27. Cerro Blanco • Sonora, Mexico, 45 K from Cananea • The property is 297 hectares characterized by Au-Ag enargite veins with great potential for gold silver and copper. Historically there has been considerable exploitation of high grade veins. • These mineralized veins are on top of a pebble breccia pipe suggesting a porphyry copper target that is a possibility for open pit exploitation. • Initial sampling shows relatively high grade values for gold silver, and copper (5.45 g/tn Au, 0.7kg/tn Ag and 1% copper • Project has similar characteristics to Butte (Montana), “the richest hill on earth.”

  42. Recommendations for Cumeral Property • Complete a campaign of vertical shallow, diamond drill holes (ddh) to delineatean expected, flat, near surface, bulk-tonnage gold deposit. • A first NW-SE line of ddhshouldbestartedjustabove the Cascabelpit and progresssoutheastwardwith 100m increments. • If this first line of ddhissuccesful in delineating a near surface flat gold zone, ddhfencedrillingshouldprogressnorthward and southward
