Falcon is currently providing drilling services to Viceroy Resource Corporation on the Gualcamayo project. Drilling operations are at an elevation of 1500 to 2000 metres and use NQ and HQ down hole tools drilling to a typical depth of 300 metres. It is hoped that the F1000 drill rig will soon be in operation using BTW sized tools. Water supplies for the drill rigs are pumped in via a pipeline approximately 10 kms long.
The project is located in the San Juan province, Guandacol district, Argentina and hosts both gold/base metal skarn and epithermal gold mineralization in brecciated limestones, marble and dacite porphyries. The 914 hectare project can be operated on a year round basis. It was joint ventured from Mincorp Exploraciones S.A. in mid 1997. Viceroy has the right to earn a 60% interest in the property through its 100% ownership in Minas Argentinas S.A. by spending US$5.0 million by April 18th 2002. In addition to the 2630 hectares covered by the joint venture Viceroy also controls an additional 45,000 hectares surrounding the project.
Geological mapping, sampling and a 2600 metre diamond drilling program confirmed the presence of widespread mineralization, extending the zone for at least 1 kilomtere along strike, up to 200 metres down-dip and defining a vertical extent of up to 300 metrres. Significant intercepts are summarized in table 1
