Yale’s drill results from their Zacatecas, Mexico property confirmed the presence of bonanza grades of silver across narrow veins. The best intercept was 1340 grams per tonne over .8 metres. This concludes Yale’s phase 1 drill program.
Upon completion of drilling of the San Sabino phase 1 drill program, Yale will have earned its 65% interest from joint venture partner Impact Silver Corp. (TSX.V:IPT) Mina San Jose: Four holes totalling 501.25 metres were drilled to test approximately 230 metres of strike length of the vein zone. The holes successfully tested the system at a vertical depth of 60 to 75 metres.
Mineralization appears to be associated with a 2 to 4 metre wide structural zone that hosts disseminated and stringer pyrite with associated patchy base metal sulphides and possible sulphosalts. The first hole was designed to test the vein approximately 50 metres from historical workings that returned over one kilogram per tonne silver from dump samples.
This hole returned a significant intercept of 1,340 grams per tonne of silver at a vertical depth of approximately 75 metres below surface.

Mexican Cardinal May have been Murdered by Radical Masons
Holy See Still Interested in the Murder Case of Cardinal Posadas
Rome, Jun 15, 2007 (CNA).- Speaking to the Notimex news agency from Rome, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñiguez of Guadalajara (Mexico) said the Holy See continues to be interested in the investigations into the murder of Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo.
Cardinal Sandoval, who was named archbishop of Guadalajara following the death of Cardinal Posadas, said he met with the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, together with the two lawyers who are following the case, Fernando Guzman Perez Pelaez and Jose Antonio Ortega.
“We requested a meeting with Cardinal Bertone to inform him of what we know about the Posadas case. The Holy See has always been kept informed. He welcomed us and showed much interest and reiterated his desire to know the truth,” Cardinal Sandoval told Notimex.
Cardinal Sandoval stressed that the struggle to find the truth has been going on for 13 years, “and the ones who should tell it are the judicial authorities of Mexico. They should tell [the truth] to the Mexican people who anxiously await it.”
The cardinal said right now is a “good opportunity to achieve a definitive solution for the matter, with the new government in Mexico and with a new Secretary of State at the Vatican.”
Cardinal Posadas was brutally murdered on May 24, 1993, at the Guadalajara airport by a group of gunmen.
At that time the government said the cardinal’s death had been “accidental” because he was caught in the crossfire between to rival drug trafficking gangs.
However, numerous investigations placed responsibility for the murder on forces of the government linked to the more radical sectors of Mexican masonry, which may have been behind the murder of presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio, whose death has never been satisfactory explained either.

Aerospace Manufacturing Comes to Mexico
Bombardier, Honeywell International , Goodrich Corp. and MD Helicopters had one place in common when choosing where to go to slash costs: Mexico.
The aerospace companies, lured by wages as low as $5 an hour, are opening training schools and expanding as workers prove they can perform more complex manufacturing tasks such as assembling an entire plane.
Bombardier, the Canadian maker of regional and corporate jets, moved up its timetable to build fuselages in Mexico by three years after workers exceeded production expectations for wire harnesses.
Morris Township-based Honeywell, which has 1,400 workers in Mexico, began operations with simple manufacturing of heat exchangers.
Soon, it will employ Mexican engineers to test electrical systems of new commercial jets from Boeing Co. and Airbus.
"The move to low-cost countries and lean manufacturing is certainly more aggressive than in the past," said Christopher Glynn, an analyst with CIBC World Markets Corp. in New York, who expects Honeywell shares to rise to $62 in the next 12 to 18 months.

Chinese Goods Compete for Local Business in Mexico
DALLAS -- The influx of Chinese goods into Mexico represents major competition for local businesses, writes commentator Rocío Ortega in Dallas’ Spanish-language Diario La Estrella. The black market for Chinese goods goes unchecked and without quality control, Ortega reports.
Traditional Mexican artisan goods are copied by the Chinese and smuggled into the country illegally, she writes. China even makes copies of representations of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico’s patron saint. Some Mexican business owners wonder what China is doing -- that Mexico isn’t -- to compete successfully in the international economy.
The answer may stem from cultural differences, according to Ortega, but that doesn’t mean Mexico can’t learn from China’s business model and do its own copying. One group of some 200 Mexicans, calling itself the Mexican Association of Secretaries of Economic Development is attempting to do just that. Their objective: “to facilitate Mexican professionals, leaders and experts to develop trade between Mexico and China, acting as agents of change and bringing Mexico into a competitive global context.”

War Between Zetas and Sinaloa Drug Cartels Heating Up
June 2, 2007, 3:08AMPolice find 3 unexploded grenades in Mexico City subway
MEXICO CITY — Police found unexploded grenades in two Mexico City subway stations Friday, and said the explosives were accompanied by messages against the "Zetas," a gang of hit men tied to the Gulf drug cartel....
....The Zetas are engaged in a bloody turf battle with the rival Sinaloa cartel that has left hundreds dead. But most of those deaths have occurred in a few provincial states, while Mexico City has largely been spared the kind of drug-gang battles that have terrorized other cities.
The grenades appeared to be part of a wave of threats against the Zetas that appeared across the Mexican capital. Hours earlier Friday, at least two banners were found strung across busy thoroughfares in the capital with threatening messages.

Fake Phone Kidnappings in Mexico
MEXICO CITY · "Papa! Papa! Papa!" cried the voice on Rodolfo Melchor's cell phone. Then: "Honey, it's me, I've been kidnapped!"The office machine repairman, on a break at work, dialed police and sprinted home, finding after the most harrowing 30 minutes of his life that his family was just fine.
Melchor had avoided falling victim to a "virtual kidnapping," a scheme aimed at quickly extracting ransom without an abduction. The weapon used is not a gun or a knife, but a telephone.
