BCS Davis Property, Nevada
The BCS Davis property is located in Nye County, Nevada, consists of 61 unpatented lode mining claims totalling approximately 510 hectares, is 100% owned by the Company, and is subject to a 2% net smelter royalty in favour of the originating vendors. The property is located in Walker Lane Gold Trend, 5 miles east of past producing Paradise Peak Mine, Nye County, Nevada. The Davis vein has potential 3,000 foot strike length at surface. In June, 2008 the Company began drilling at the Davis Gold Property and completed seven diamond drill HQ core holes totalling 2945 ft. (898 meters) in 2008 returned grades of up to 3.53 grams (0.102 apt Au) over 4.24 meters (13.91 ft.) along a 200- meter strike length. The mineralization is open to the north, to the south and depth.
In June 2, 2009, the Company announced the discovery of three additional large new gold/silver zones that now brings the total to six. These anomalies include the Davis, the Butler 1, The Butler 2, the Central, the Sinter and the Atwood Zones. The zones at the Davis project show potential for high-grade, epithermal gold/silver veins, as well as strata-bound mineralized zones similar to the nearby Paradise Peak Mine (1.46M oz. gold and 38.9M oz. silver) which was active from 1985 to 1995 and being maintained.
During the year ended October 31, 2015, the David property leases were not renewed due to high yearly maintenance costs.

The decrease in office and miscellaneous primarily reflects management’s efforts to decrease costs.
