During mid-September, 2009, as part of an analyst and geologist tour, we were able to re-visit the magnificent country surrounding the Cassiar Gold Camp located in far northwest British Columbia and be updated on Hawthorne Gold Corp.'s work to develop the company's Table Mountain and Taurus projects in that area.  Their specific goals are to enter production from these Cassiar-area projects at the earliest opportunity and to continue exploration and development of these projects as well as their Frasergold Project located in the Quesnel Trough east of Williams Lake and south of Barkerville.

Sometimes it is hard to differentiate between an unusually high level of skill, or just plain good fortune.  In Vancouver-based Orko Silver Corp's case, the fact is much more important than the source as one geologist's fortuitous decision led to the discovery of a new and important mineralized region at the company's primary focus, the "La Preciosa" project in Durango State, Mexico.

For pure scenic splendor, it is difficult to surpass Vancouver-based Soho Resources Corp.'s Tahuehueto Project in northwest Durango State of Mexico.  Set in an area of spectacular canyons that match the famed Grand Canyon in grandeur and exceed it in depth, and located 250 km NNW of Durango City, the project covers over 9,000 hectares and is controlled through Soho's 99.4%-owned Mexican subsidiary, Sacramento de la Plata S.A. de C.V.  More importantly, we believe the resource development potential that exists at Tahuehueto is very significant, given the nature of the property’s mineralization, the release of its second NI-43-101 compliant resource in early 2009 and the fact that there is considerable potential in their unexplored structures.
