Summary
The Fuyani property was acquired by staking and is in the Santo Tomas Porphyry Copper Belt, where Amera has assembled an attractive portfolio of copper-gold properties including Sayua, Korimarca and Acero. Fuyani is 40km NW of the Constancia copper-molybdenum project currently being explored by Norsemont Mining Inc; 80km NE of the high-profile Liam epithermal gold project of Newmont Peru Limited/Southwestern Resources Corp.; and, 100km NW of BHP Billiton's Tintaya copper-gold-silver porphyry-related skarn deposit.
Four rock samples have been collected from the property to date. Selective grab samples collected from the mineralized outcrop over a 40m area returned up to 0.77% copper and 3.6 ppm silver (see Table 1 below). Two anomalous silt samples collected from the same creek draining from the central part of the Fuyani concession returned 0.122 g/t Au and 0.229g/t Au; the source of gold anomaly is unknown.
The Fuyani property is underlain by Cretaceous volcaniclastics intruded by tertiary granodioritic intrusive. Tertiary sediments cover topographically low areas. Porphyry-style copper (malachite, chalcopyrite, and bornite) and silver mineralization, with elevated lead, zinc and molybdenum, is hosted by epidote-altered granodiorite (see Table 1). Abundant massive magnetite and garnet float in several creeks draining the Fuyani property suggests also presence of skarn type mineralization. Amera is planning a comprehensive surface exploration program to evaluate the property and generate targets.

Location & Access
The Fuyani property is located 40km north of Santo Tomas. It is easily accessed along the gravel road connecting Santo Tomas with Cusco, which is 70km north of the property.
