The property consists of two hundred and forty two (242) hectares of mineral rights within 4,000 meters south east of Lundin Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: LUG)’ Fruta del Norte ("FDN") high grade gold discovery and just south of Lundin’s Machinaza target. Condor is also located within the known Ecuadorian Copper Belt, just 6 kilometers south of EcuaCorriente’s Mirador, Panantza and San Carlos copper projects.

 

Lateegra Ecuador S.A. also owns a 69 hectares farm (surface rights) located within the boundaries of Condor concession.

 

Condor Concession is basically the only mining concession within Lundin’s 90,000 group of morning concessions which is not property of Lundin Gold and is surrounded by Duque concession (see: map).

 

The Condor Property was originally purchased by Lateegra Ecuador S.A. from Mr. Freddy Salazar, an Ecuadorian Geologist who spent ten years working as an in-country geologist for Newmont Gold and more later for Aurelian Resources. Mr. Salazar was instrumental in the identification of the land package known as the Fruta del Norte Project held originally by Aurelian Resources Inc., then by Kinross Gold and now by Lundin Gold. The Condor property is within the same geologic unit as Lundin's Fruta del Norte discovery. Mr. Salazar is President of Salazar Resources, a Canadian public corporation that continues developing world class properties in Ecuador.

 

Condor concession is fully covered by strongly altered and oxidized intrusive rocks with presence of limonite veins and some fully brecciated sections with sericitic alteration, angular alluvial gold in placers covers 70% of the area. The property is underlain by strongly altered intermediate porphyritic intrusive rocks containing weathered sericitic/chloritic alteration. Veins up to 4m in wide of tectonically brecciated crystalline quartz with iron oxides have been intersected in nearby trenches by Aurelian Resources. Additionally, 1m float boulders discovered in the area have assayed up to 6.62g/t Au, with angular alluvial gold covering 70% of the area.

 

The Condor concession also has an important aluvial deposit in the low and mid terraces on both sides of the Machinaza, in an area of 1.2 km by 200 meters by 4 to 8 m depth. Additionally, some mineralized outcrops have been found.

 

There is a complete N.I. 43-101 report on Condor that will be updated with the results obtained during the exploration program.

 

Astorius is re-negotiating a new option agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Lateegra Ecuador S.A. titleholder of the "Condor" property in South Eastern Ecuador.

 

The technical information within this news release has been reviewed and approved by Clinton Smyth, P. Geo, and Astorius’ Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.
