Stratabound Minerals Corp. is a Canadian natural resource company, exploring gold and base metal properties in northern New Brunswick and a diamond prospect in the Otish Mountains region of Quebec. Sampling stream sediment at Marusia Diamond Prospect. The Company has a proven record of mineral discovery and development. Since 1986, Stratabound’s exploration successes have resulted in a profitable polymetallic open pit mining operation in New Brunswick, discovery of the Taylor Brook, N.B. zinc-lead-silver deposit, base-metal drilling success at Sierra Azul in Mexico, and oil discoveries in Saskatchewan.

Sierra Azul Zn-Pb-Ag-Au Mine
, Monclova-Cuatrocienegas Region, Coahuila. Includes the Santa Genoveva deposit. Optioned 100% (subject to 1% nsr) 63 Ha historic producer of high-grade oxide direct-to-smelter ore located near Monclova. Staked additional 1,819 Ha. Total property position at Sierra Azul is reportedly 2,132 ha. Mineralization occurs as high-grade argentiferous Pb-Zn replacements which have been traced underground for more than 625 ft.. Showings on surface for more than 3.2 km of strike in an area with 6.8 km of favorable stratigraphy exposed. Major Canadian company evaluated area in the past. Main mineralized body appears to be a 5 to 20m thick manto developed at arkose/dolomite contact. Favorable ore-hosting breccia mapped for 3.5 km on surface with widths between 50 to 100m. Underground mapping by at a scale of 1:250 concurrent with channel sampling. IP geophysics program was scheduled for October, 1997. Underground sampling at the San Genoveva deposit in 1998 led to initial resource definition of 700,000 tonnes of 9.7% Zn and 3.7% Pb along a strike of 475 m which is still open in high grade mineralization in one direction along strike and downdip. This resource calculation includes 315,500 tonnes of oxide mineralization at 5.74% Zn and 1.96% Pb; 125,000 additional tonnes of oxide mineralization at 10.22% Zn and 5.17% Pb; as well as 262,500 tonnes of sulfide mineralization at 14.21% Zn and 5.04% Pb. Silver values not reported. Completed financing and plans to commence exploration at its Monarca property in Mexico shortly and will focus on the Muralla breach, an area that contains many old workings.

Don Indio Project, Monclova-Cuatrocienegas Region, Coahuila. Regional exploration led to identification of this property located 95 km NW of Sierra Azul. Concession covers 2,947 Ha along a 19 km strike length of carbonate and redbeds. It contains three historic mines: Pilar Grande, Escalmada and San Marcos. The initial program comprises extensive channel and panel sampling as well as detailed mapping. An eight man crew conducted detailed mapping and systemmatic underground channel and panel sampling to determine ore grades and thicknesses in the San Marcos West, Pilar Grande, La Encalmada and El Rincon Zones. Ore grade mineralization with economic valuse of Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn remains open along strike and down dip.

La Monarcha Property, Monclova-Cuatrocienegas Region, Coahuila. Signed a letter of intent on 21Jan99 on this property which is located in between the Sierra Azul and Don Indio properties. Property is 70 km long and contains two windows in the Monarcha Anticline exposing the Cretaceous carbonates and Jurassic redbeds. The Murella window is 25 km long and contains 80 pre-1950 Zn-Ag-Pb mines and prospects. In the reforma area workings along 5 km of strike include La reforma, La Fortuna and Ocampo. Consejo data reports 2M tonnes of production between 1896 and 1958. Historical production records recovered in March, 1999 for 12 mines which were worked to shallow depths for high grade oxide ores shipped directly to smelters..
