Santacruz’ President and CEO, Arturo Préstamo, said:

We are very excited with the results from the 6,000 metre Phase one drill program. This initial drill program produced positive results as to the grades and widths of mineralization on four of eight known zones on the Gavilanes property. We believe the combination of continued high grade drill results from Gavilanes will be incorporated into a resource estimate before year end together with our achievement of production at Rosario puts Sanatcruz well on track to deliver shareholder value from its strong mineral property portfolio.
