El Roble mine exploration update

The exploration program at El Roble mine is advancing according to plan with
three drill rigs on site and field work being conducted to prepare drill targets
along the enclosing package of host rocks extending for a distance of 10
kilometers across the 6,680 hectare property. Two rigs are currently drilling
below level 2000, lowest production level at the El Roble mine and the third is
drilling on surface the Archie anomaly, north of El Roble mine.


In addition to the ongoing surface and underground exploration programs at El
Roble mine, Atico is conducting various technical and engineering studies at the
mine which will provide a thorough understanding of the ongoing 360 tonne per
day operation.


Studies are being led by engineering firms working in coordination with Atico's
management to assess the mill and processing facility's potential for scale-up,
the mine's design and optimization, the tailings dam upgrade and the operation's
environmental standards.


El Roble Property 

The El Roble property is the site of an operating underground copper and gold
mine with nominal capacity of 400 tonnes per day. Over the past 22 years the
mine has processed 1.5 million tonnes of mineralized material at an average
grade of 2.5% copper and estimated gold grade of 2.5 g/t. Copper and gold
mineralization at El Roble occurs as volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS")
lenses. Exploration over the past two years has defined a productive contact and
an enclosing package of host rocks extending for a distance of 10 kilometers
across the 6,680ha property. This entire strike length is marked by VMS
mineralization occurrence indicators.
