Madoro Samples up to 1.2 kg/t Silver and 3.97 wt% Copper in Newly Discovered Polymetallic Skarn at
Figure 1: Yautepec Southern Area Geologic Map
"The discovery of well-mineralized polymetallic skarn along the western Yautepec caldera margin was realized through the disciplined application of Madoro's exploration model which, to date, has yielded remarkable success throughout the Yautepec project," said
The following table summarizes rock chip geochemistry results from the western skarn-hornfels area:

The skarn-hornfels complex lies just outside of the recently mapped southwestern margin of the Yautepec caldera (Figure 2). The area lies 13 kilometers distant from similar polymetallic Ag-base metal mineralization found along the eastern caldera margin at the historically identified
