El Salitre Project, central Mexico somewhere (state unknown). This new discovery was identified by a reconnaissance prospecting team and acquired through the staking of an exploration concession. The size and strength of the gold mineralization, as seen on the surface, demonstrates a hydrothermal system with the potential to host a large gold resource. The El Salitre gold zone is related to hot spring activity, both recent and extinct, along a 30 km long fault scalp. Three silica sinters and their related alteration haloes have been located along a cumulative 3500 m strike length of the fault. Gold values within the sinter are strongly anomalous ranging up to 1 g/t in both chip and grab samples. Anomalous gold values in sinter or the near-surface environment indicates the potential for significant gold accumulation immediately under the sinter level. The degree of erosion is negligible and locally only a few meters beneath the sinter is exposed. Veins cutting both the sinter and the altered bedrock have been sampled and return values up to 2.1 g/t across 1 meter. These veins also indicate that gold may have concentrated in discrete, high-grade, bonanza veins at depth below the sinter. Presently an exploration program is being designed which will include geochemistry, geophysics and drilling to test this system at depth. Optioned to Barrick Resources who have outlined a coincident geochem (soils) magnetic and IP anomaly 100-350m wide over 6 km of strike. RC drilling planned as initial 8 to 10 hole program.

HISTORY: Name changed from Consolidated Nevada Goldfields Corp.
Merged with Grupo Real del Monte (GRDM), a private Mexican company which is a subsidiary company of Grupo Acerero de Norte, S.A. de C.V. (GAN). Grupo Real del Monte controls numerous properties in Mexico including:
Pachuca Tailings Project, Hidalgo. Located 60 mi NE of Mexico D.F.this major historic Ag camp made a lot of tailings during it's life. RDM is investigating the feasibility of reprocessing around 90 million tonnes of tailings, the majority of which are from more than 100 years of floatation processing. The average grades are 40 gpt Ag and 0.17 gpt Au which is about 115 million ounces of Ag and 465,100 oz Au. Kilborn Ltd. did a feasibility study for the Mexican government in 1989 and Lakefield Research performed metallurgical tests with positive results at the same time.PDAC literature March, 1999
Pachuca Real del Monte, Hidalgo. Located 60 mi NE of Mexico D.F., this major Ag camp has been in operation for over 465 years. Land consists of 400,000 ha in district and minesite features a 3000 tpd mill. Aggregate production is between 1.3 and 1.5 billion ounces of Ag and 6 million ounces of Au. (NOTE: that accounts for 6% of world's Ag production over the last 450 years). 1Q97 improved production to 1,300 mtpd. Lower than expected ore grades and blockage of buried tailings pipe lowered production in 2Q97. Proven and probable ore reserves as of 2Q98 stand at 7,800,000 tonnes grading 264 gpt Ag and 1.4 gpt Au.
LAMR May, 1998
Magistral del Oro Au Tailings: Located at Santa Maria del Oro, Durango. Mine closed in 1962, but a tailings pile leaching plant recovers 2.2 gpt Au and 6 gpt Ag. 1Q97 reported low leaching kinetics and excessive Cu absorption. Metallurgical testing continuing. Studies have concluded that reprocessing these tails is uneconomic at present gold prices (October, 1997). Operation put on hold indefinitely. Exploration of area for additional primary reserves ongoing. Altered areas appear promising. Optioned this asset to Crown resources in Jan. 1999
El Baztan, Michoacan. Based in Huetamo de Nuņez it is an underground Cu mine and exploits high-grade Cu which is recovered through floatation along with Mo and tungsten. Production complicated in 1Q97 due to lower concentrate uptake at SLP smelter. Actually two mines at El Baztan: Vista Hermosa a skarn and the other, El Arroyo, a vein mine. Combined production in 3Q97 was 23,214 tonnes which gave 791,000 lbs Cu and 405 oz of Au. Proven and probable reserves are 890,000 tonnes at 1.87% Cu. Possible additional reserves delineated at Vista Hermosa are 450,000 tonnes at 1.5% Cu.
Barita de Sonora. An open-pit barite operation E of Hermosillo whose product in mainly used in the Mexican oil industry. It maintains a close relationship with Baroid International. Low equipment availability and high overheads resulted in below budget performance in 1Q97. Ditto for 2Q97 CNGF considering options. As of January,1998 a sale to third party considered upon completion of legal matters and due diligence.

Known reserves of all categories inside the partially developed underground workings to a depth of - 75 meters offer the opportunity of generating earnings with a modest investment in a short period of time. Moreso, the potential to block additional reserves are highly favorable including the discovery of a potential large zinc replacement deposit of manto type. Plans for Phase I include: This phase that could be initiated early in 2001 foresees the extraction of a rich silver-zinc-lead ore shoot (27.2 oz Silver, 8.98 % Lead and 9.36 % Zinc) totaling 30 000 tons. The extraction at 100 tons per day would last 14.5 months. Concurrently Phase II would include: Drilling and development works will be executed and will provide the feasibility for increasing the production to 500 tons per day. Total all categories reserves stand at 614 000 tons to the lowest - 75 meters level. At that rate, the production would last 49.5 months. (Picked up this asset from defunct LMX Resources?)

Includes Consuelo (152 sq km), Santa Cruz (38 sq km), Valladares (150 sq km), San Jose (50 sq km), El Soccorro (72 sq km) and Roca Rica (150 sq km),. Field crews mobilized in August, 1996. For expanded descriptions see Mexico Projects on Rupert's WebSite.

NMN v82 #8 04/22/96Santa Cruz Property, BCN: Prospecting and regional geochemical surveys located a large Au anomalous area. Parallel and sub-parallel qtz-bearing vein and stockworks have been identified over 8 km of strike. At least 6 samples of 1.0-1.5m width gave values from 3-12 grams Au. Exploration to resume in mid-January, 1997 on 38 square kilometres Rupert’s work to date has discovered six locations with visible gold along a strike length of a 10.5 kilometre long structure. An extensive gold-bearing quartz vein/stockwork system is associated with this major regional structure. The Santa Cruz area is one of considerable historic gold production by local artisans, several old pits and short vertical shaftswere noted by Rupert’ field exploration crews. No evidence of drilling was found.

GCN #5 7Jan97El Soccorro Property, BCN: 72 square km. The property is adjacent to an area with a long history of small scale placer and hard rock mining which ended in 1910 at the time of the Mexican Revolution. The property has the potential to contain the extension of this mineralization.

San Jose Property, BCN: 50 square km was acquired for its potential to contain the extension of epithermal gold bearing veins known to occur on an adjacent ground.
