BAROYECA GOLD & SILVER INC. Exploratory drifting continued following vein #1 from the crosscut towards the Southwest for another 25 meters. The first samples were collected starting at 3 meters from the crosscut for safety purposes, and then at approximately 1.5-meter intervals when possible. The vein in this interval splits into two parallel veins (20cm wide for each of them) and care was taken to separate the vein material from the wallrock for the bulk sample testing process. The southernmost branch of the vein is labeled A and northernmost vein labeled B for reference (see Table 1). Vein A averages 17.08 g/t Au for a sampled length of 18.8 m and vein B averages 25.85 g/t Au over a sampled length of 19m for a combined weighed average of 21.42 g/t Au over 0.4m in the entire interval.
The cross-referenced 15 tonne bulk-sample was collected and processed using the procedure described further in the text. Assay results from the head-grade samples collected at regular intervals at the discharge point of the second ball mill and later homogenized returned 18.91 g/t Au.

Sample collection method
Bulk sample collection is designed and supervised by a Qualified Person for QA/QC purposes. Baroyeca continues with the same bulk sampling process methodology with batch samples of 15 tons after completing some improvements and upgrades at the pilot processing plant.
The mining method employed at the exploratory tunnels consisted of splitting the vein from the barren wall rock and separating and collecting vein material with a minimum of wall rock attached. The vein material from the tunnel was then bagged at the tunnel portal in woven plastic bags and individually weighed until an approximate nominal 10-to-15-ton batch sized sample was completed. Samples were then loaded in random order into a truck and taken to the Santa Barbara pilot gold processing plant. Once the batch was completed, the section of tunnel from where the sample was removed was surveyed and followed with channel sampling at 1-meter intervals.
At the plant site, sample bags were dumped in random order after passing through a first stage of crushing to 2-inch and a second stage of crushing to 0.5 inch size. Crushed material was then stored in a bin with a vibrating door that self-feeds the primary ball mill. Crushed material was then sent to the primary ball mill (>40% passing 150 mesh) and secondary ball mill (>60% passing 200 mesh) connecting with the three 15m3 cyanide leaching tanks where the pulp was agitated before adding reagents for homogenization purposes. The head sampling consists of taking a sample of approximately 500 gr at the drain of the second ball mill point every 40 min for 8 hours. Then the complete sample is homogenized and dryed. Lastly the sample is split into a 1kg sample that is bagged and sealed to be sent to SGS labs in

The Company cautions that Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made and they involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
