The Property is located in Elko County, Nevada, 60 miles south of Wells.

To the west of the Property is the prolific Carlin Trend, which produces close to 3 million ounces of gold per year. Approximately 10 miles to the southwest is the northern boundary of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, another linear zone of significant gold endowment

The nearest significant gold mining operation is at Bald Mountain (Barrick Gold), 40 miles to the south and which is part of a group of north-south oriented gold mines including the now-exhausted Alligator Ridge gold mine. In 2008, Bald Mountain is reported to have produced 105,000 ounces of gold and proven and probable mineral reserves as of December 31, 2008 are estimated at 2.85 million ounces of gold.

Property owner has proposed a model similar to the Bald Mountain deposit, which is a copper-gold deposit, which, in addition to zones of high-grade skarn ore, also hosts open-pittable, sediment-hosted, lower grade mineralization.

The Property hosts classic copper/gold skarn mineralization and extensive covered areas where other skarn or sediment-hosted mineralization may lie undetected. The skarns appear to be manto-like and the source of heat and fluids could be a large intrusive located to the north of the Property with dike offshoots cutting across the Property.

Typically, delineation of “blind” skarn mineralization by geophysical methods is a common exploration tool.
