Project Achievements and Plans:
Since optioning the Providence Group of Gold Mines, located nearby, Sonora California in the bountiful Motherlode gold belt, the Company has utilized state of the art exploration technology consisting of underground 3D laser mapping, aerial survey photography, underground channel samples, conventional surface trenching channel and soil sampling. The success exploration resulted in the development of numerous modelled high grade drill targets that lie within or near the past producing group of Providence Gold Mines. In addition, our most recent reported trenching program nearby the historical McCarthy mine discovered a zone with potential for low grade bulk tonnage mineralization.
The planned first phase of 4,000-meter of HQ core drilling is designed to verify the gold targets projected near surface. For more information on the enhanced modeling used to develop the drill program can be found on the Company website at the following link:
