Tara Minerals has a 100% interest in three zinc/lead/silver mining properties. The properties are located in the northern part of the La Reforma Mining District of northeastern Sinaloa State, Mexico. The predominate rocks in the area are Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous cabonate (limestone) rocks and Tertiary granitic intrusives. The La Reforma Mining District has been mined for more than 300 years, with substantial amounts of precious and base metals produced from numerous mines. In the opinion of Tara Minerals, the district has never been properly explored using present day, industry standard, exploration methods, including geochemistry, geophysics, and geology. Tara Minerals feels that this area may potentially host base metals that were never discovered or exploited due in part to market conditions, lack of technology, and lack of funding.
All of Tara Minerals projects are located approximately 25 kilometres from the town of Choix, Sinaloa State, Mexico. The properties are accessed by driving a 4x4 vehicle on Sinaloa State maintained roads along the north side of the Rio Fuerte to the village of Altamira, located in the center of the La Reforma Mining District.

On October 16, 2006, Tara Minerals signed a definitive option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Pilar De Mocoribo high grade Zinc, Lead and Silver mineral concessions located 25 km NE of El Fuerte, Sinaloa State, Mexico. The Pilar De Mocoribo Groupings is comprised of 1,548 hectares and lies within a larger area of hydrothermal alteration that hosts numerous base and precious metal occurrences along the western part of the Northern Sierra Madre Gold Belt.
In October 2006, Tara Minerals also acquired the Las Nuvias prospect, a 41 hectares property. Preliminary evaluation of the property has identified an abandoned prospect with historic vein-type mineralization occurring within an older complex suite of volcanic-granitic and sedimentary rocks.
On November 16, 2006, Tara Minerals signed a definitive option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Don Ramon and Lourdes high grade Zinc, Lead and Silver mineral concessions located 20 km ESE of Choix, Sinaloa State, Mexico. The Don Ramon and Lourdes Groupings is comprised of 331 hectares and lies within the same general area as the Pilar De Mocoribo Groupings, along the western part of the Northern Sierra Madre Gold Belt. Tara Minerals has completed its acquisition and expects production to start-up during 2008.
Tara Minerals is also actively pursuing future growth opportunities by acquiring additional exploration, development or production assets. Tara Minerals is in a strong position to acquire additional opportunities due to its established office and relationships in Mexico. Tara Minerals is currently engaged in discussions with respect to such possible opportunities. There is no assurance that any potential transaction will be successfully completed.
