Eaglecrest Explorations Ltd. (EEL-TSX.V; EAT-Frankfurt; OT: EGLXF) ist ein Gold-Explorationsunternehmen mit Mineralrechten über 300 Quadradtkilometer des San Simon Goldprojektes im Nordosten Boliviens. Die Strukturen auf der Liegenschaft, die Gold-Mineralsierung beherbergen, sind geologisch identisch mit einigen der wichtigsten bekannten Quarzader Goldlagerstätten und Gold "shoots", die wie in Westafrika gefunden werden. Eaglecrest hat drei Gebiete auf San Simon identifiziert mit Tagebau und unterirdischen Gold-ressource Potenzial. Das Ziel des Unternhemens ist um das Aktionärsvermögen zu erhöhen durch die Exploration und Entwicklung des San Simons Projekts, gefolgt neue Golderwerbungen in Kolumbien.

Unternehmensstrategie und – daten:
Eaglecrest Explorations Ltd. (EEL-TSX.V; EAT-Frankfurt) is a gold exploration company which has an option on the 180 square kilometre Fredonia project area in the prolific Central Cordillera gold belt in northwest Colombia. Eaglecrest also owns 100% of nearly 300 square kilometres of mineral title at the San Simon Gold Project in northeastern Bolivia. Eaglecrest is initiating exploration work in Colombia and has identified three areas at San Simon with open-pit and underground gold resource potential. Eaglecrest continues to utilize management's experience with major mining and exploration companies to acquire and explore additional strategic gold and gold-copper projects in the Central Cordillera of Colombia.
Advanced Exploration
Gold at San Simon is located in high-grade vertical gold shoots, similar to some of the major well-known gold deposits like those in Ghana in West Africa. This discovery enabled the company to begin a close-spaced infill definition program, drilling holes that are spaced 25 metres apart rather than 100 metres. To date, Eaglecrest has completed over 77,000 metres of drilling at San Simon.
Eaglecrest built an in-house resource model on the first gold shoot using Gemcon software and has begun drilling a second high-grade gold shoot (L484) about 150 metres west of where it began its infill delineation program. The company discovered thick gold mineralization in two holes that were previously drilled and discovered new high-grade gold intercepts which Eaglecrest will continue to drill.

San Simon Project
San Simon is located 450 km north of Santa Cruz, Bolivia and 20 km from the border between Bolivia and Brazil. The project lies in the same belt of rocks that hosts the 1.6 million ounce Saõ Francisco (Yamana Gold) gold deposit in Brazil.
The San Simon Plateau has been mined since gold was first discovered there in the mid 18th Century by Jesuit monks who called the plateau Cerro del Oro (Gold Plateau).
The most active period of mining occurred in the 1990’s when the San Simon village had over 1,000 inhabitants and produced an estimated 75,000 oz of gold.
Access to the Plateau is two hours from by air (450 km) from Santa Cruz to Eaglecrest's two airstrips near the Company’s camp on the San Simon Project. Road access is 20 to 36 hours from Santa Cruz.
There are numerous lode and alluvial gold occurrences within the 300 km2 San Simon property; however, we have focused on two primary areas of gold mineralization: the Trinidad - Doña Amelia and the Paititi-Buriti zones. A major portion of the project has yet to be thoroughly explored.
Early work included drilling at Trinidad and Paititi in 1996, drilling at Paititi in 1999-2000, and a 197 tonne surface bulk sampling at Paititi in 1999-2000 that yielded an average grade 1.62 grams/tonne gold.
Eaglecrest has most recently drilled for an underground mineable resource in the Doña Amelia zone while also pursuing new targets with open pit mine potential in the Paititi-Buriti zone. Since 2003, Eaglecrest has drilled 328 holes to a maximum depth of 760 meters into the Doña Amelia Zone, which has a 4.2 kilometer strike length. Recent sampling in the Paititi-Buriti region has produced rock-chip samples with gold grades up to 49.5 g/t within the 7 km long zone.
Gold Mineralization Model
Gold mineralization occurs in and around a thrust fault and is associated with quartz veins, hematite and green sericite; drilling has indicated quartz veins up to 15.9 metres thick. The first 3D drill hole Geosoft model, completed in early 2007, demonstrated that gold in the Doña Amelia Zone is located in high-grade vertical gold shoots and pockets concentrated along a the south-dipping, near-vertical, thrust fault zone. After completing the 3D Geosoft model, Eaglecrest drilled 17,997 metres in 80 holes in an effort to delineate gold mineralization in the L463 gold shoot, which is one of at least eight recognized gold shoots in the Doña Amelia Zone at San Simon. One-third of these drill holes returned high-grade intercepts with over 10 grams per tonne gold. In 2010, we plan to complete a NI 43-101 resource calculation for two or more of the Trinidad-Mina Vieja gold shoots.
Mineralization Style
Fine and coarse gold, free and associated with a "mineralized envelope" around the thrust faults which includes hematite, both pervasive and disseminated after arsenopyrite, sericite, and silica flooding. This alteration is now included in core logs as a guide to finding more gold. Gold is found in fractures and in sites that were previously arsenopyrite but are now hematite, thus there was an association of gold to arsenopyrite during the mineralizing event.
Similar Gold Deposits
Crixas Deposit, Brazil (Kinross Gold Corp, 1M oz gold) & Saõ Francisco Deposit, Brazil (Yamana Gold Inc., 1.4M oz gold) and Ashanti type gold deposits in the Birimian greenstone belt, Ghana (production of more than 55 M oz gold over 100 years).

Fredonia, Colombia
Colombia, like Bolivia, is a mineral-rich country with a centuries-old mining tradition beginning in the 1500s. Colombia has produced about 94 million ounces of gold and, prior to the narco-terrorism that crippled the country beginning in the 1960’s, was once the largest gold producing country in South America.
The "Plan Colombia" program was unveiled in 1999 to combat narco-terrorism, spur economic recovery, strengthen democratic institutions and respect for human rights. Alvaro Uribe was elected president in May 2002 (and re-elected in May 2006) on a platform to restore security to the country and he has had outstanding success. Attacks conducted by illegally armed groups against rural towns decreased by 91% from 2002 to 2005. Between 2002 and 2006, Colombia saw a decrease in homicides by 37%, kidnappings by 78%, terrorist attacks by 63%, and attacks on the country's infrastructure by 60%.
Colombia is a free market economy with major commercial and investment ties to the United States, which accounts for about 25% of trade. New free trade agreements are in progress with Canada and the United States, thus adding more to its already successfully growing industries. Transition from a highly regulated economy has been underway for more than 15 years with tariff reductions, financial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and adoption of a more liberal foreign exchange rate. These policies eased import restrictions and opened many sectors to foreign investment.
Modern gold exploration began in the early 1990’s with companies like Anglo-Ashanti acquiring large mining concessions. Anglo and its joint venture partner, B2Gold, control the most mineral title of any explorer, including the 12.9 million ounce La Colosa deposit.

Project Summary
On December 6, 2009, Eaglecrest executed a Letter of Intent to purchase up to a 75% interest in the mineral title of the Fredonia Area, located in Antioquia, Colombia. Fredonia is a property package owned by Grupo de Bullet, S.A., which consists of approximately 18,000 hectares (180 square kilometres) of mineral title. This is the first of several projects the Company is evaluating for acquisition in a 300-kilometre long gold belt that extends from the La Colosa gold resource owned by AngloGold-Ashanti through Medellín.
Fredonia Project AreaThe Fredonia Project Area is located in the Cauca River Valley, between the Eastern and Western Cordillera of the Andes Mountains, northwestern Colombia. Situated approximately 40 km south of the city of Medellín, in Antioquia, the property is positioned within one of the most prospective and productive gold belts of Colombia, one that has more than 500 years of gold mining history combined with a number of significant modern day discoveries.
