Work conducted at Porquinho to date by Magellan includes:
  • Establishment of a base camp at the Porquinho airstrip, including a year-round water supply;
  • Geological mapping and sampling of the known pits (110 channel and chip samples);
  • A high resolution aero-geophysical survey (1362 line kilometers with 100m line spacing at 100m altitude);
  • The completion of a 113 line kilometer grid (predominately 400m x 50m spacing);
  • The collection and analysis of 2458 soil samples, and about 120 standards for QA/QC purposes;
  • Expenditures to date, including payments to the owners of the traditional surface rights, are of US$220,000.
  • Additional ground geophysics and sampling is planned during early 2008 to better define drill targets.
