Quebec.– DIAGNOS Inc., a leader in the use of artificial intelligence and advanced knowledge extraction techniques, announced the approval from the Dominican government for the exploration of the Maple property previously acquired in September 2007.

The Maple property of 25,000 hectares (253 square km) is located at 15 kilometers of La Vega in the central part of the country. This property was acquired on the basis of targets found by the CARDS system as a high potential for gold and also for other precious and base metals.

Within 50 kilometers of the property, there is the world class deposit Pueblo Viejo, the second largest known deposit of gold after Yanococha in Peru. The mine of Pueblo Viejo produced 5.4 million ounces of gold and 24.7 million ounces of silver between 1975 and 1999. The East border of the property is at less than 15 kilometres of the Falcondo Nickel mine.
