In all honestly I don't believe those samples are part of the NI 43-101 many investors have been waiting for on El Colmillo. The last PR concentrates on MUTATA and does NOT mention El Colmillo at all. The following PR mentions a "geologist" but does not specifically mention James A. McCrea. IMO, I wouldn't make the leap that McCrea has anything to do with El Colmillo as well as the samples until the company gives further guidance.

Tao Minerals Ltd. Provides Property Update on the El Colmillo Gold Project
Tao Minerals Ltd. (Tao) (PINK SHEETS: TAON) is pleased to provide an update on the El Colmillo gold property and report that the company will be commencing a geological program to file a National Instrument 43-101 report on the property. The NI 43-101 report conducted by a qualified geologist will provide a mineral resource classification with certified resource and reserve estimates and mineral exploration reports for the El Colmillo gold project.

As reported earlier this year, the security situation at the El Colmillo gold project has continually improved, and the company has hired Britanico Security Group to provide full security services at the El Colmillo gold project. The access roads to the property have been upgraded, improving access for transporting equipment and supplies to the site. The Colombian federal forces have increased their presence in the local region, and the new roads provide the army easy access to the mine site.

James Sikora, President and CEO of Tao Minerals, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the improvements and upgrades at the El Colmillo gold project, and we look forward to having the NI 43-101 report which will provide Tao with quality financing options and institutional market access and exposure."

Tao Minerals Ltd. is a mining exploration and development company formed to acquire, develop, and exploit natural resource properties focusing primarily on the rich, yet highly underdeveloped gold deposits of Colombia, doing so in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
