Project Summaries

SAFFORD CANYON PROJECT

The Safford Canyon project consists of 44 unpatented mining claims situated on the north end of the Cortez Mountains in Eureka County, Nevada. The property is located adjacent to the Barth iron mine on the north and the Crescent Valley North (CVN) property to the south.

The northern portion of the Safford Canyon property is a low-sulfide, vein and stockwork system with high silver and abundant barite mineralization cutting Jurassic andesite and dacite. In the south, gold occurs in quartz-specularite veins and stockwork system with low silver values; geochemical surveys have delineated several drill targets in this area.

CRESCENT VALLEY NORTH (CVN)

The CVN property consists of 172 unpatented mining claims on the west side of the northern Cortez Range, in Eureka County, Nevada. CVN is contiguous with the Safford Canyon property. Most of the property is underlain by a Jurassic volcanic complex that is cut by abundant banded chalcedony veins, which are controlled by range-front faults. The zone covers a strike length of more than two miles.

Surface geochemistry suggests a high-level epithermal system with weak precious metal anomalies, extensive pathfinder element anomalies, and abundant structure.

Drilling by Bullion River Gold in 2004 intercepted multiple veins and breccias, most of which are under alluvial cover. The combined structural widths, as measured in the five RVC holes drilled by Bullion River, reportedly exceeded 500 feet.

INDIAN CREEK / ROBINSON CREEK

The Indian Creek (88 claims) and Robinson Creek (91 claims) projects are located in the southern projection of the Carlin trend, south of the Rain and Emigrant gold projects.

The exploration targets on both projects are Carlin-type mineralization (Rain model) at the contact between the Webb and Devils Gate formations.
