Dorato Resources Inc., through a series of option agreements, has the right to become the first mover on the Peruvian side of the Cordillera del Condor Belt with a highly prospective and unexplored land package of approximately 1,050-square kilometres in area.

2008 Exploration Program

Extensive surface and underground sampling screened approximately 80% of the Taricori Block with almost 4,000 samples. Mapped and sampled 2,600 metres of historic underground working --- providing a unique three-dimensional model of the Taricori gold system.

Approximately 700-line kms of airborne Mag-EM survey was also undertaken on the Taricori Block highlighting multiple high-priority anomalies --- demonstrating the highly permissive Taricori gold system remains open in all directions.

Vein channel sampling (n=168) from historic workings returned a mean grade of 10.9 g/t Au and 134 g/t Ag, including a maximum grade of 132.2 g/t Au and 1,669 g/t Ag. Channel sampling (n=195) of the wall rock gave a mean grade of 0.6 g/t Au and 16.5 g/t Ag indicating significant bulk-tonnage potential beyond the high-grade vein mineralization.

The Taricori alteration and mineral system is interpreted to be a minimum of 2.5km by 1.5km in area and has significant depth extent based on sampling of historic underground workings.
