The Biricu concession, comprising of 24,000 hectares 100% controlled by Esperanza, is the direct on-strike extension of four skarn deposits (Bermejal, Los Filos, Nukay, and Morelos) that contain more than 14 million ounces gold. The first two deposits are in current production, and the fourth is entering feasibility studies. This is extremely prospectable ground. In 2010, Esperanza plans detailed mapping and sampling of the claim block. The poor exposure in portions of the area suggests that geophysics will also play a role in our evaluation of this property.
