OPERATION UPDATE

The Phase 2 drilling program is a structured under ground and surface drilling campaign encompassing 7,000 to 8,000 meters. The first two drill stations may locate in the Carmen mine at the San Jose drift. This area is away from open stopes and 150m from surface and each under ground station is to collar 3 holes. In preparation for the drill program, the Company is completing 3D modeling of the El Pinguico and Veta Madre vein structures. The modeling is critical for finalizing location of drill stations, drill hole intersections with the El Pinguico vein and identifying areas in the ore body that were previously mined.

Vangold has retained the expertise of Mr. David Michaud PEng., a 25 yr mining metallurgist to conduct extensive lab and bulk sampling of the surface stockpiled material and mined mineralized stockpiled material located in the stopes of the Pinguico mine. The Scoping work is focused on obtaining the optimum recoveries from both sets of material. Mr. Michaud will perform several types of tests to understand the behaviour of the leaching process on the surface material at 2g AuEq average and the higher grade mined material with grades over 15g AuEq.
