Assay results are distance weighted averages. War Eagle Mining
Company's reporting cut off is 5% Zinc or 50 ppm (g/tn) Germanium.
Samples were submitted to SGS Mineral Services in Durango, Mexico, an
ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory, for analysis by Sodium Peroxide
Fusion using an ICP Mass Spectrometer.
The Nacional zone is located 200m (650 feet) to the south of the Tres
Marias principal mine workings. It is seen as a separate mineralized
entity. Discovered by underground core drilling, it is accessed on the
lower 6-level of the Tres Marias Mine. Channel samples taken along the
drift on the north side of the original Nacional stope averaged 36 g/t
germanium and 16.9 % zinc over 16 meters ( 52.5 feet) length. The core
drilling program on the Nacional Target is well underway and is first
of four targets that will be drilled consecutively.
