TECHNICAL REPORT SUMMARY
 
GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
 
CIENEGUITA PROJECT
 
CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO
 

 
1.0
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This technical report was prepared by Delve Consultants at the request of PAN AMERICAN GOLDFIELDS LTD. (“Panam”) (formerly, Mexoro Minerals Limited), a United States (Delaware) corporation, listed on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board as MXOM, in connection with its filings with British Columbia Securities Commission. The report was written in compliance with disclosure and reporting requirements set forth in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101, Companion Policy 43-101CP, and Form 43-101F1. The resource estimate contained in Section 17.8 for the Cieneguita deposit was prepared by P & E Mining Consultants, Inc in April 2010. No mineral reserves were estimated. Mr. Durgin, Mr. Wood, Mr. Puritch and Mr. Yassa (the authors) are qualified persons under Canadian Securities ministrators’ National Instrument 43-101. The authors have independently investigated the data provided to them by Pan American Goldfields Limited to the extent deemed necessary in their professional judgment for him to be able to reasonably rely on this information.

1.1 Introduction

The Cieneguita project is located southwestern Chihuahua in northern Mexico, and is 375 km by road from the state capital, Chihuahua City. The project is about 30 km south of the town of Cerocahui, adjacent to the village of Cienequita. It is part of the Sierra Madre Occidental silver-gold belt. The centre of the property is located at latitude 27 degrees 8 minutes North and longitude 108 degrees 12 minutes (WGS 1984, UTM zone 12, 3003848N, 795718E).

1.2 Geology and Mineralization

At the Cieneguita project, disseminated gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralization is hosted by a diatreme breccia, which has the appearance of a coarse, poorly sorted, poorly consolidated felsic tuff. Disseminated pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite are spatially associated with widespread sericitic and peripheral argillic alteration. The diatreme body has the appearance of a flattened funnel, approximately 1200 meters long and 200 meters wide, and dips nearly vertically. Host rocks are andesitic volcanic rocks of lower Tertiary age. This is the first mineralized diatreme breccia described in the region.

EXHIBIT D (continued)

1.3 Exploration and Mining History

In general, the region has a mining history dating to the early Spanish colonial days. The church at nearby Cerocahui was built in 1620. There was no significant mining activity in the immediate area of Cieneguita until Cominco drilled 51 diamond drill holes (6700m) in 1981 and 1982. Glamis Gold completed drilling programs in 1994 and 1997. From 1995 to 1998, the Cieneguita deposit was a producing gold mine operated by Glamis. From 1995 to 1998, an indicated 197,993 metric tonnes of oxidized ore grading at 2.27 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) was mined

from the Cieneguita Property. Panam began its ongoing exploration and development program in December 2007.

1.4 Drilling and Sampling

The quality and technical specifications of sampling techniques and procedures of any drilling done prior to that of Panam are not well known. The precise hole locations of most of the earlier
generations of drilling cannot be ascertained with certainty due to mining activity and the passage of time having erased much of the prior survey grid. Panam initiated a diamond drilling program in December 2008, using GDA Servicios Mineros, as the contractor. The program was completed late in 2009 using two drill rigs. A total of 20,733 meters of HQ (2.5 inch core) drilling was completed in 103 drill holes. Core recovery has been excellent. All of the core in each hole has been photographed, logged in detail, split, sampled, and assayed by Chemex Laboratory for silver and gold as well as a suite of trace elements. In the area which has become the # 3 Pit, a program of closely spaced shallow ore definition drilling was completed in the second quarter of 2009. This program contained 133 holes, also HQ in size, for a total of 5420 meters.

1.5 Metallurgical Testing

Panam has processed more than 17,700 tons of material testing bulk sulfide flotation methods in
Minera Rio Tinto’s mill in Choix, Sinaloa, described in detail in Section 16. This testing was focused on achieving the best gold and silver recoveries for the in-house mineralization estimate in the # 3 Pit, currently being mined, with little emphasis on the base metals. Recoveries on the order of 95% of the gold and 85% of the silver seem achievable. Bench scale flotation testing was also done with the aim of enhancing both base and precious metal recoveries. This will be vital to the larger scale deposit from which recovery of gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper is anticipated. These test showed that, in producing a lead concentrate, a zinc concentrate, and perhaps a pyrite concentrate, very good recoveries will be possible. A conservative estimate of the anticipated metal recoveries is:

Au = 95%, Ag = 83%, Pb = 80%, Zn = 80%, Cu = 75%

1.6 Mineral Resource Estimation

There are two separate resource estimates. First, in the spring of 2009 an in-house krigged mineralization estimate was made for the small, higher grade # 3 Pit using a database of 5420 meters of drilling in 133 shallow holes and a few deeper exploration holes. Minesight modeling software was used. The block model is approximately 160 by 100 by 50 meters. Within this, using a density of 2.4 tonnes per cubic meter, and a cutoff grade of 1 g/t AuEq ( EuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t / 67), this figure was calculated at 658,451 tonnes at a grade of 1.793 g/t Au and 93.51 g/t Ag, or a gold -equivalent grade of 3.173 g/t. With a pit slope of 45 degrees, the strip ratio was calculated to be 0.59 to 1.

The large scale, lower grade, more formal resource estimate, which is the principal focus of this report, has been completed in a NI 43-101 compliant manner by P & E Mining Consultants, Inc. It is based on 17,833 meters of core drilling in 90 holes with an approximate spacing of 40 meters. The database has been carefully verified. Mining of the larger scale resource will be at a larger scale and include recoveries of all five metals - Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cu - as efficiently as possible. From the results of metallurgical testing by Panam and comparison with other projects, estimated metal recoveries used in the modeling are:
Au = 90%, Ag = 83%, Pb = 80%, Zn = 890%, Cu = 75%.

Based on sales of concentrates produced in pre-startup testing of 17,700 tons of material and general guidelines (there are no smelter contracts at this time), the following smelter paybacks are used in the estimate: Au = 95%, Ag = 95%, Pb = 70%, Zn = 70%, Cu = 80%.

24 month trailing average metal prices used are: Au = $945/oz, Ag = $14.75/g, Pb = $0.85/lb, Zn = $0.80/lb, Cu = $2.75.

In defining boundaries of mineralization in the estimation of the resource, mining and processing costs must be included, as well as the above factors. Based on mining engineering studies, assuming production rates of 1000 tons per day, and a 1.5 to 1 stripping ratio, mining and processing costs are estimated to be $24.50 per tonne. Thus the cutoff used for defining ore boundaries was $24.50.

Modeling of the larger scale Cieneguita deposit using the drilling database, the price, recovery, and smelter return figures above and Gemcom modeling software produced the following resources:



1.7 Interpretation and Conclusions

From their review of data provided by Panam, the authors believe that the data generally provide an accurate and reasonable representation of the Cieneguita project. Panam’s exploration program has delineated a gold and silver resource with significant base metal values. These resources are classified as Measured & Indicated and Inferred Resources as defined by CIM. These have been estimated based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered using appropriate techniques and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed. Some portion of these resources may be upgraded to Proven and Probable Reserves as more data is obtained, more engineering and economic studies are completed and more sophisticated methods of deposit modeling are applied. It cannot be assumed that all such resources will be converted to Reserves, however the authors believe that such improvements will lead to definition of additional resources or reserves in higher categories for large portions of the deposit.

In addition, the resources described remain somewhat open to the northwest and in depth. The drilling program on which this resource calculation has been based was done at a nominal hole spacing of 40 meters. Additional drilling is clearly warranted both as infill of the known resource in some areas and as additional step-out drilling peripheral to the known resource. This is planned later in 2010.

You are buying Exempt Market Securities.
 
They are called exempt market securities because two parts of securities law do not apply to them.  If an issuer wants to sell exempt market securities to you:
 
the issuer does not have to give you a prospectus (a document that describes the investment in detail and gives you some legal protections), and
the securities do not have to be sold by an investment dealer registered with a securities regulatory authority.
 
You may not receive any written information about the issuer or its business.
 
If you have any questions about the issuer or its business, ask for written clarification before you purchase the securities.  You should consult your own professional advisers before investing in the securities.
 
Unless you consult your own professional advisers, you will not get professional advice about whether the investment is suitable for you.
 
For more information on the exempt market, refer to the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission’s website at http://www.sfsc.gov.sk.ca.
