Soltoro Ltd. has discovered a previously unknown mineralized silver zone, known as the Mascotas zone, on the northern portion of the El Rayo silver project located in Jalisco, Mexico. The Mascotas zone was discovered during routine geologic mapping as part of Soltoro’s systematic exploration of the El Rayo land package. The Mascotas mineral system consists of at least five separate mineralized structures occurring within an area extending 600 metres northeast by 800 metres northwest. The Mascotas mineral system is located approximately five kilometres north-northeast of the main silver deposit area. There are no known historic mines in the area and few prospect pits.
