About the Real de Guadalupe Mine
The Mine consists of 500 hectares and lies in Guerrero State, Mexico
approximately 40 km northeast of Ixtapa-Zihuatenejo. The mines of the
area date back to the 1800's when the Spaniards worked on near surface
Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead & Zinc veins. Reported historic production
at Real de Guadalupe, averaged 450 grams Silver and 2 grams Gold, with
a high lead and zinc content. The style of mineralization is classified
as epithermal, poly-metallic of low to medium sulphidation. There are
some mineralized stockpiles on surface, tailings from the previous
milling and reported mineralized material remaining in the mine. The
mine closed in 1989 due to infrastructure issues with the 50 t/day
mill. Mining was performed from adits and some internal shafts over
~200m elevations. Silver Shield Resources is planning an exploration
program of mapping, surface sampling of the mineralized stockpiles and
tailings as part of its due diligence. Silver Shield Resources is
determined in bringing high grade small to medium mines into production
such as Real de Guadalupe.
Tim Towers President and CEO of Silver Shield Resources commented:
"While these are challenging times for the junior miners, the
opportunity to add a potential high grade producer to our stable of
Southern Mexican Silver Belt properties cannot be missed! With Temixco,
La Cumbre and potentially Real De Guadalupe, we are at the cusp of
taking great strides in moving the company into the next tier. The
resurgence of Gold and Silver prices in recent days adds to the allure
of this quality asset. Silver Shield's good relations with the Mexican
people, prospectors and mills in the area will certainly aid the
Corporation's stated production focus."
Tim Towers also stated "Silver Shield Resources continues to source both
debt and equity financing to move our quality projects to first stage
production. Despite the difficult market conditions for junior mining
companies, the quality of our assets has allowed us to meet with
several firms. We are considering the options and terms that have been
presented to us thus far, and will proceed if the terms are favorable
for the Corporation and its shareholders."
