Prospects
Azulcancha Area
The Azulcancha Prospect is located 11.5 kilometres southwest of the Titiminas Area and was discovered during a regional prospecting program in February 2003. On surface, silicified Ferrobamba limestones containing stringers of zinc-rich ankerite were observed. Subsequently, trenching followed by a small drilling program were carried out in 2004 and 2005 respectively.
Capayocc Area
The Capayocc Area is located 16 kilometres southwest of the Accha Area and about 6.5 kilometres west of the Azulcancha Prospect. There are a number of mineralized zones containing zinc oxides hosted in Ferrobamba limestone. Several old workings are present at Capayocc and it appears that these were excavated for their silver content. Gossanous, zinc oxide-rich material is exposed in several places and trenching in 2004 showed the zone to be at least 500 metres in length. A limited drilling program was completed in late 2005 on this zone.
Caja and Yurac Areas
The Caja and Yurac Areas, which are 22 kilometres southwest of the Accha Area were sampled in 2003. Ferrobamba limestone units have been intruded by small quartz-feldspar and feldspar-hornblende porphyry dykes/stocks and zinc oxide mineralization of economic interest occurs as replacement type mineralization and in fault-hosted zones.
Puyani Area
Cerro Puyani, in the Puyani Area, is located approximately 7.5 kilometres east-northeast of the Yanque mineralization (25.5 kilometres southwest of the Titiminas Area). Here various zinc oxide occurrences have been identified in the Ferrobamba Formation. In the adjacent Oscollo Area MISOSA did limited surface sampling in 2003. The Puyani concession is subject to a 2% NSR that Zincore's subsidiary has the right to purchase for US$1 million.
