Cerro Dorado is a junior mining/exploration company with gold/copper/silver claims ("The Alto De Lipangue Project") near Santiago, Chile. They have adjacent claims to Medinah Minerals (MDMN) on the Alto De Lipangue plateau. The relatively low elevation, close proximity to infrastructure, and exceptional nature of the property make their claims an excellent future location for large scale gold/copper bulk mining operations. Juan Jose Quijano, Cerro Dorado's representative in Chile, is working with several potential joint venture participants, assisting them in their due diligence, both in formal meetings and visits to the Fortuna de Lampa property. As Juan Jose Quijano has a vested interest in the potential of these properties, being a significant shareholder of Cerro Dorado, a creditor, and property participant, he is working diligently to bring a satisfactory joint venture party to the cmopany, with an agreement structured according to current mining standards.

Cerro Dorado properties, all located on the Alto de Lipangue plateau approximately 8 km to the west of the small town of Lampa and 30 km northwest of Santiago, Chile. Access to the property is via the gravel road between the towns of Lampa and Til‑til, through the Hacienda Mercedes at Chicauma. The original claims known as Lonco Millarepu 1‑60 which are adjacent on the west and south to claims owned by Medinah Minerals, Inc. In 2006 and 2007 the land base has been expanded by over 300% and the mapping and sampling program in late January 2007 accessed the new land packages and new occurrences. Cerro Dorado now owns 2,220 hectares on the Alto de Lipangue plateau and is currently in negotiations to joint venture these properties separately from Medinah Minerals which is approaching finalization of its JV.
| Claims Group | Hectares | Description | Picture |
| Lonco Millarepu 1-60 | 270 | The Lonco Millarepu 1-60 mining claims (mensura) were purchased by Cerro Dorado Inc. in April 1999. The vendor retains a 20% Net Profit Interest (NPI) from production to a maximum of 5 million US dollars. The claims are rectangular and extend 3 km north-south and 900 meters east-west, bordering claims from Medinah Minerals, Inc. on the west and south. | |
| Fortuna 61-120, Colihues 1-40, Antonio 1-20 and Columbo | 900 | These claims to the East of Lonco Millarepu were purchased in 2006. These appear to be former Medinah Minerals claims as they were listed in ACA Howe's 2001 report on the Alto de Lipangue property for MDMN. This significantly increased Cerro's footprint on Lipangue over their original claims group. | |
| Columbo I-IV | 1050 | Purchased July, 2008. These claims border Cerro's properties to the North. |
Dr. Jim DeCosta's Valuation Considerations For the Alto de Lipangue Deposit
At the 2008 Annual General Meeting, Dr. Jim Decosta who next to JJ Quijano is probably the single most knowledgeable shareholder on the Alto De Lipangue property, as well as an expert author on the subject matter of naked short selling in the stock market, gave a very lucid presentation on his assessment of the company's property in Chile. Dr. Decosta offered to shareholders copies of his independent treatise, which explains the numerous difficulties for a junior mining exploration company to secure a joint venture agreement with a major. His in-depth report also articulated property valuation criteria and specifically addressed the company's holdings at the Alto de Lipangue location. This report is a must-read for all prospective and existing shareholders as it compiles nearly all of the due diligence on the ADL properties into one comprehensive document.
Satellite Imagery Report of Sr. Clemente Sepulveda Perez (Remote Sensor Analyst) Translated From Spanish
In February 2007, Medinah Minerals, owner of claims adjacent to Cerro Dorado's properties on the Alto de Lipangue plateau, disclosed the results and conclusions of a recent satellite imagery report performed by Clemente Sepulveda Perez. Sr. Perez was retained by both CVRD of Brazil (now referred to as "Vale") and also by BHP-Billiton for their due diligence measures in regards to the Lipangue property complex. The most significant of his conclusions are listed below:
1- "In this sector of study they are located; a deposit that can be classified like of type PORPHYRY OF COPPER-GOLD (in the zone of the plain of the Alto de Lipangue) and, in addition, a PORPHYRY OF MOLYBDENUM-COPPER in the contiguous area immediately located to the south of the previous one."
4- "The volume of identified mineral resources to date, reaches already to SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TONS, mainly assigned to the added porphyries and skarn together."
7- "All the aforesaid samples clearly show that we are, as opposed to an old and famous mining district here, that today presents/displays a potential of resources, with which can without a doubt be classified WORLD CLASS."
Summary Geological Evaluation and Exploration Report By Terrance Smithson (P Geo.)
In April 2006, Terrance Smithson (P. Geo) for Tera Ex Engineering was commissioned to perform a summary geological evaluation on the "Lobo Solitario Project" (Cerro Dorado's properties on Alto de Lipangue) and the Lipangue Breccia Property for Medinah Minerals. According to the report, "Tera Ex Engineering Corp. was commissioned to research, evaluate, update and recommend a new exploration project based on A.C.A. Howe Limitada 43-101 statute reports 1999-2001 by Robert Cinits P.Geo. On the Lobo Solitario project for Cerro Dorado, Inc. and the adjoining Altos Lipangue project of Medinah Mining, Inc., the 2006 program included the planning of a new road system access to the south on newly attained staked claims including the Carrizo and Concordia molybdenum deposits were being constructed to the south highway at Lampa. A new regional exploration model is being proposed and new recommendations and exploration budget 2006 is presented in this Summary report."
