Some interesting info on this on Investor hub
........... Below was written in 2004, when gold was $390 an oz. and copper was $1.00/lb. Gold is now $648/oz and copper is $3.66/lb. Using the current values for both metals, the gold is worth $223 million and the copper is worth $1.1 billion. This would not all be profit since it's expensive to mine the metals, and complete the finished product. Found during a Yahoo search about El Alacran gold deposit in Columbia:
The El Alacran Deposit project includes three exploration licenses totaling 1,265 hectares of known gold, copper and silver resources. Geologist Robert P. Shaw has summarized calculations of gold and copper resources as follows:
* Proven Gold underground mining potential is 96,280 oz, which at $390/oz,it equates to over $37 million; the proven Copper potential is 84,532,577lbs, which at $1.00/lb it equates to over $84 million.
* Possible Gold open pit mining potential is 41,324oz, which at $390/oz it equates to over $16 million. * Possible/probable Gold underground mining potential is 206,610 oz, which at $390/oz it equates to over $80 million; the Copper potential is 216,341,000 lbs, which at $1.00/lb it equates to over $216 million
The El Alacran ore zones are not constricted, appear to repeat systematically and are open at depth, which offers possibilities for the exploration,discovery and long-term development of potentially large-scale Gold and Copper resources. Silver is also indicated and probably significant but calculations are premature at this time.

Mr. C,
We thank you for your investigation and email.
This is to confirm that the Alacran Gold Deposit that was posted on that site, Investors Hub, is correct, although the calculations were based on very preliminary reports and findings over four years ago.
Mr. Robert Shaw worked as a third party for another corporation before EAGM took over the mining rights two years ago. Those numbers can be viewed as a good approximation of the confirmed findings thus far, although, not limited to our further and additional studies.
Our current Geologist is finalizing and continuously working on the land and we will be providing Preliminary findings to the public in due time and then definite information for the entire public at large.
We are very excited with the project and are happy to see that our investors are quite diligent in joining us with this great venture.
Management

Is this the same property that EAGM operates in Columbia? I found this material on the Internet after searching El Alacran Gold Deposits.
Thanks!

TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/09/06 -- El Alacran Gold Mining Corp. (PINKSHEETS: EAGM), a precious metal mining company, releases Preliminary Geologist Report and technical overview for the Company's initial and flagship property by the same name, "El Alacran" Mine.
Based on regional exploration results, including geological mapping, geo-chemical soil and rock sampling and chemical analysis, the Company has identified various areas with high gold and silver concentration, along with massive copper reserves. The recent initial exploration programs at El Alacran included surface mapping, trenching, pitting and magnetometry. The results were sufficiently positive to warrant the subsequent 15 hole, 2,407 meters of diamond drilling which indicated the potential for substantial precious metal reserves. Gold-copper (silver) minerals are confirmed over an approximate 600-meter strike length in what may be considered the north-central portion of the indicated zone at El Alacran Mine.
An initial calculation of the project's gold and copper resources at El Alacran has been determined. This calculation is presented on a "closed system-basis" utilizing exploration information covering approximately 400 metres of strike length in the central portion of the known El Alacran mineral system, as constrained by the diamond drill holes SJ-02 in the north and SJ-09 in the south.

Total 484,575 3.31 41,324

*Note: A silver resource is also strongly visible at El Alacran, however the general lack of analytical data for silver data renders calculations premature. Silver is significant, however, not considered in the initial reports.
"If all goes as expected with this project, El Alacran will likely become the cornerstone of our Company's precious metals-related holdings," said Rafael Delgado, C.E.O. "Our shareholders must understand that the initial calculations provide an estimate of the proven geological gold and copper resources contained within only a portion of the mineral system at El Alacran. It must be recognized that this calculation does not represent the upside resource potential of the El Alacran project, as we are only in the preliminary stages of the reports."
The Company will continue to work diligently on upcoming geological results and will continue to release all information for its shareholders as it becomes available. __________________
