The Pinos Gold District is approximately 3,000 hectares in size and hosts four known high grade gold veins with consistent strike lengths of over 4 km each. The property is gold dominant (although silver does occur in varying quantities with the gold). The Pinos District was discovered by the Spaniards in 1546 and mined until 1810. The Cornish mined the property until the Mexican revolution in 1910. The only modern day mining occurred in 1935 – 1941 by a small individual miner. All historic gold production occurred within the first 100 meters from surface. Old reports and physical evidence indicates the water table was at approximately 100 meters and impeded further mining. Today, water is not a problem with the use of pumps. Numerous shafts exist on the property and Romarco’s team in Mexico has accessed many miles of underground workings and taken samples from the vein systems. A first phase drilling program in 2006 indicated the veins extended up to 250 meters below the historic workings. To date, Romarco’s team has taken over 800 underground vein samples and identified the most prolific areas (grade and widths) to conduct a comprehensive drilling program.
