The update for San Martin covers the exploration work done last year, and for the Opodepe Project, the update covers the exploration work started in October 2021 to the present day.

San Martin Mine in Queretaro, Mexico

A total of 9,410 meters were drilled in 2021 until the end of March, 2022 which focused on two areas of the mine: the first focusing on the northwest part of the operating mine, and the second searching for the extension of the orebodies of high - grade discovered during the 30 years of the mine's life.

This new vein was discovered last year with 4 DD holes and the development works continue. This new vein is related to a vein discovered more than 15 years ago through a hole located 500 meters far away. Exploration continues with the development of drilling stations along the projection vein.

Opodepe Project in Sonora, Mexico

A total of 3,289.6 m has been drilled in 25 short holes. The first stage of drilling focused on the upper part of the veins of the zone and has been considered as recognition drilling. However, in this year 2022, the drilling is focused on the zone of the veins which the geologists have considered as favorable zones to find economic reserves. These holes will be longer than the first stage including two new veins, MIDAS and El ORO, both in the Teocuitla concession recently acquired by Starcore. See Figure 3.
