The Incienso Property hosts a series of
mesothermal-epithermal veins in diorite, tonalite, and granodiorite
host rock intrusions. Veins are present in two principal
orientations that parallel local structural discontinuities. The
northwest-southeast set of veins varies between 0.7 m to 3.0 m in
true width, and have been mapped across surface exposures for up to
2.0 km. The northeast-southwest vein set has similar widths but
appears to be more restricted in extent and surface exposure.
Rudimentary underground development has been carried out on two of
the vein zones; however, only a small amount of material has been
mined, judging by the size of waste-dumps at the portals.
There are six primary exploration zones,
separated by elevation and by the vein system(s) upon which they
are focused. Table 2 shows results from channel/chip samples
obtained across selected veins from Goldberg (2010)1. Sample widths
are true widths.
“We are very happy to be involved with the
Incienso Property”, remarked Cartier CEO Tom Larsen, “and are
looking forward to evaluating the Property with Minera La Rubia
S.A. for real mining potential as we aggressively embark on a
2-month due diligence period.”

According to the Letter Agreement, Cartier Iron has
sixty days to execute a due diligence program prior to negotiating
a Definitive Agreement. This work is expected to commence in early
July, 2017, and will include a legal-title search with systematic
property-wide reconnaissance mapping and resampling of surface and
underground vein exposures.
