 Initial Prospectus listing company in mid 1998 contained detailed information on several properties and these include:

Tejaman Ag Property (Jarvis Concession), Durango and Zacatecas. Property owned 100%. Was explored in 92-94 by Independence Mining Company. Numerous individual claims can be grouped into six separate properties totaling 2,655 Ha more-or-less in the same general area. Completed geophysical IP program in October, 1998 which highlighted several target properties including Cerro Prieto (2151 Ha) and Los Mantos (236 Ha) Zones. Other areas within this general agreement include San Lucas de Ocampo (53 Ha), Mezquital (142 Ha), Chalchihuites (48 Ha) and La Parilla (25 Ha).. Drilling commenced in November and was expected to be completed by Christmas. Geophysical target 500m long by 20 to 60m wide and extends to interpreted depth of 350m.

Kobex completed first stage exploration drilling at Tejaman with a 4 hole 997m program. The logic of program was preliminary testing of 4 out of 7 IP geophysical anomalies. The four areas tested were Colorada-East, Colorada-West, Mantos and Cerro Prieto. Previous underground sampling at Cerro Prieto was conducted by Luismin and returned multi-opt Ag and 3% combined Pb+Zn. Kobex recently obtained data from 92-94 program by Independence Mining Company which included 12 RC and 24 DDH holes as well as mapping, sampling and geophysics. Their program resulted in a global geological resource calculation for the oxide mineralization of 4,663,850 tonnes at 110 gpt Ag which may be amenable to heap leaching.
