Mexus is pleased to announce that M.S. Carlos Merino, our mining permit agent, has filed the requisite documents for mining operations for our Julio project. We have been informed the permitting process is approximately 30 days; therefore, Mexus is progressing with plans for the Julio underground mine establish mining and production operations as soon as the permits are authorized. Two additional employees have been retained for refurbishing the previous Julio underground equipment and to deepen the existing shaft by 100 feet to the 200 foot level. Future plans include construction of a shaft to the north along the quartz vein and mine up to drop the gold bearing quartz in to cars which will be transported to the surface. At the surface, the cars will be moved by a previously installed, hydraulic powered head frame to the ball mill gravity recovery system.

President Paul Thompson stated that the underground resource is capable of sustaining commercial volumes of 20 tons a day with precious metal grades of 20 to 30 oz of gold during that period with budgeted daily mining cost of $3,000 per day.
