A GREAT YEAR – this 2010! The Mexican staff and the exploration, mining and construction crews at Lluvia de Oro have made great progress in 2010.
Among our accomplishments are:
• more than 10,000 meters of core drilling,
• +5,000 meters of RC drilling,
• a huge increase in new 43-101 compliant resources and mining reserves,
• permit acquisitions, securing of blasting permits, and new water rights,
• construction of 33,000 square meters of new leach pad space at SW-1 and SW-2,
• construction of a new laboratory,
• completion of upgrades to the carbon columns and E-W circuits,
• implementation of the 2010 Selective Mining plan,
• commencement of blasting and mining of new ore from Creston Pit, and
• Production and shipping of the first gold button from the New Lluvia de Oro mine.
Construction of the new leach pads SW-1 and SW-2 is nearing completion. The collection pipes (tubes that facilitate flow of solutions to the recovery plant) are almost finished.

The new laboratory facilities have been constructed and the lab is now operational. Current lab throughput is 80 samples per day. With new equipment on order, the lab will be able to complete several hundred samples on a daily basis.

Last week, the mine shipped to the smelter its first gold button for 2010. The doré button is believed to contain approximately 200 oz. gold and 200 oz. silver. It is appropriate that the last few days of this year should open a new era for the Lluvia de Oro gold mine. NWM Mining Corp. and MCM, its Mexico subsidiary, are very excited about the coming New Year and the things we expect to accomplish here.

Christmas to New Year is a time of great celebration throughout Mexico. The staff and crews, and their families, joined in the Company’s first company-wide, year-end celebration this past weekend. A great time enjoyed by all, with an attendance of about 200 persons. This week – it is work as normal, but the Company will slow down for a few days to allow its workers to spend precious time with their families.
From all of us – to all of you – we wish you Happy Holidays and a very prosperous New Year!
