New work continuing at Santa Elena. Can't say who is doing it but Sentinal II imagery shows current excavation at a couple of locations on the Santa Elena claims - significantly some of the work is on the west face of "Mexua Mountain" - a one -thousand foot rise south of the ops area. This area has not seen any attention in this new perod of excavations until this this week or last week.

There is newly disburbed earth showing where the two drill pad roads meet on that west slope of the mountain. One road is old - before 2007 based on historic imagery - that's the lower road at the base of the west face. Then when Argonaut performed a short drill program in Fall of 2015 a new higher road with half a dozen drill pads zig-zaged farther up the slope. Where those two roads meet is the area of somebody's new interest. Also it looks like that entire road had been gone over with a water truck last Thursday to control dust. The road changes character - it becomes darker and "redder" when watered. The effect lasts for about a day so watering is indicative of activity just prior to the satelllite pass. I saw that often on the Noche access road when Noche was in production. There is also a separate area of new excavation closer to the old ops area - new within the two weeks prior to Oct 26th.

Don't know who's there - doubt it's anything to do with the ever-broke Mexus or they'd be rushing to advertise it in this period where the stock went dark and trading became sporadic on the gray sheets.
