the caved at the 3,455 m.a.s.l. portal have shown to be mineralized
and are being economically exploited today.
-- The 3,515 m.a.s.l crosscut has intercepted two of the three known
veins that comprise the Veta Dos vein structure. Fresh cuts across the
veins, showing they are there.
-- Three identified low sulfidation veins with demonstrated 0.5 m - 10 m

As part of the underlying agreement, Corizona has an option to purchase another 25% of the Cambalache Project for three million dollars (USD $3,000,000) with an expiration of five years.

"I'm absolutely excited about this project for multiple reasons but primarily because this is an already producing project with great upside meeting our overall model requirements. With making few quick-hit improvements to the existing plant it's anticipated we'll be able to double production and significantly increase recovery rates" stated President & CEO, Mr. Corey Sandberg. Mr. Sandberg further stated, "Our intention is to increase production to 100 TPD by Q3 of 2014. I'm excited what the future holds for Affinity and its shareholders and look forward to sharing more about the merits of Cambalache in the very near future."
