A $2-million, 9,330-metre mine-site exploration program as well as a $7-million, 24,500-metre drilling program around the mine are in progress on the 11,000-hectare Pinos Altos property. The focus is on converting resources to reserves. An underground exploration program and scoping study are planned at the Cubiro zone in 2011, with the goal of converting resources to reserves and extending the zone to the northwest at depth. Other work aims to expand the Sinter, Reyna de Plata and Creston Mascota zones and other targets.
