Discovery Minerals has a total of $450,000 committed costs to assess and develop the property known as the Turquoise Mountain Project. Based on extensive data acquired from previous owners' exploration operations during the 1950s and '60s, the Company intends to re-evaluate the promising results obtained then, in light of today's higher metals prices and newer production technologies now available. Comparisons with nearby mineral occurrences & properties would put the value of the leases in excess of $5,000,000. The Turquoise Mountain Project will require additional funding before it can begin generating revenues.

Discovery Minerals is a U.S.-based metals exploration and development company focused on projects in the Western United States and California. The Company is led by an experienced board of directors and management team with extensive corporate, exploration, mine development and production operation records in the US, Australia and Asia.
