Alaska Prospects
http://www.goldcrestminesinc.com/projects/alaska/kisa.asp
In the Kisaralik Lake area, Kisa Gold Mining has staked 32 state mining claims covering approximately 4520 acres on the Kisa Project block. The claims are located approximately 90 miles east of Bethel and approximately 120 miles southwest of Donlin Creek and 40 miles west of the Shotgun Deposit. Access is via float plane, helicopter or from adjacent dirt unimproved airstrips.
A full 15-person camp, drill rig and ancillary equipment are already on site and the claims are all held in good standing with significant banked assessment work.
The Kisa Breccia Target is located at the intersection of several mapped regional structural zones and distinctive topographic and airborne geophysical linears.
http://www.goldcrestminesinc.com/projects/alaska/kisa-breccia.asp
The Golden Dyke Target includes the rocks exposed on and under a prominent northeast trending ridgeline running through the center of the Kisa claim group. The ridge contains numerous silica-carbonate-sulfide altered felsic rhyolite dikes and sills. The swarm is composed of over twenty dikes and sills ranging in thickness from approximately 3-feet to over 30-feet true width.
Samples were collected from dikes and altered sandstones exposed within the prospect area with values as high as 0.18 ounces per ton reported.

The Pirate's Pick Target is located in the northern portion of the Kisa claim group and consists of a large northwest-trending quartz-carbonate-sulfide veined fault zone. The intensely stockwork-veined fault is intermittently exposed over the crest and flanks of a small ridge in an area roughly 200 meters wide x 350 meters long with several hundred meters of exposed vertical extent.
The average of 18 rock chip samples collected from veins within this zone is 1.95 gpt gold. Several drill targets are defined on this prospect.

The Gold Lake Prospect is situated in the southwestern Kuskokwim Mountains, approximately 95 miles east of the village of Bethel and eight miles west of KGMI's Kisa Project. Access to the area is via helicopter or via floatplane. KGMI controls 100% of 44 state mining claims covering approximately 7040 acres.

The main showing, the Gossan Ridge Target, was identified by following up highly anomalous values of Au, As and Sb in silts and Au in pan concentrates in streams draining the prospect area. Follow-up work completed over two field seasons included collection of over 150 grid soils, over 110 rock chip samples and detailed geologic mapping.

A second significant showing, the Golden Alder Target.
This prospect is located several miles to the north of the Gold Lake Prospect along the banks of a small drainage that produced a strong stream sediment response. Several contour soil lines and rock chip sampling were completed over the trace a structural zone exposed in the drainage upstream.

The Luna Prospect is located in the southern Kuskokwim Mountains of southwestern Alaska approximately 90 miles to the southeast of Bethel and 6 miles west of the Kisa Prospect. The multi-million ounce Donlin Creek project is located approximately 120 miles to the north. The project area is accessed by helicopter or by small aircraft capable of landing on a tundra dirt strip.

The AKO Project is located in the southwestern Kuskowkim Mountains approximately 9 miles southwest of KGMI's Kisa Project. The company controls over 7200 acres in 45 state mining claims.

There is a constant and ever growing demand for mineral commodities to be produced and made into a multitude of products to meet society's needs as populations grow and developing nations strive to raise their standards of living. Yet in nature those same commodities that are required for this to occur are found in finite quantities. And, in most areas, exploration and development of the easily recoverable resources has already occurred making competition for the available remaining finite resources stiff. Before a product can be manufactured, its raw materials must be brought to market, but even before that the raw materials must be discovered. Gold Crest Mines believes there is significant investment value in the discovery of commodities that can be brought to market to meet society's ever growing demands. Our current efforts are focused on exploration and development of commodities with high unit value such as gold. The Company is committed to providing superior investment returns to its shareholders by focusing its exploration efforts on high-quality projects, in politically stable areas, using the latest technologies and solid science.
The Company is managed by a team of industry veterans with proven track records in the exploration, development and mining ends of the commodity pipeline. The Company uses in-house expertise along with a team of industry-recognized expert consultants to identify, acquire and evaluate prospects in mining friendly jurisdictions with the potential to host large base or precious metal deposits. Based on their successful track record in acquiring and exploring mining properties, they are well positioned to succeed in the future. The Company's preference is to acquire a 100% interest in properties through initial evaluation and to focus on areas where there is potential for additional discoveries and the development of economically viable ore deposits.
