The Company owns and controls certain Mineral Lease Claims in the extended Long Canyon Gold Trend of Elko County, Nevada. The Company, with delivery of the 'Final Geological Report' written to NI 43.101 Technical Report requirements, completed its Phase One Exploration Program.
The Company plans to commence Phase Two in early spring 2013, weather permitting.
