 The Mancha Pampa project is located 150 km southeast of Lima and 25 km south of the Yauricocha silver-copper-lead-zinc mine in central Peru. The project covers an area of extensive silica alteration with corresponding anomalous gold and arsenic in stream sediment samples. The alteration zones occur around the margins of a large area covered by younger glacial and alluvial sediments and may continue beneath the younger cover. One zone of siliceous alteration is associated with a flow banded rhyolite intrusion. High silver, gold, copper and arsenic values occur over a width of 300m from soil samples collected along a single line immediately adjacent to the intrusive. The area has the potential to host an epithermal type deposit.
