FAIRFIELD, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Advanced Mineral Technologies, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: AMTO), a silver and gold exploration and development company, today announced the valuation of its Tillicum Mountain Gold Property to be approximately $406 million.

The final pre-production phase will also encompass additional testing, identification of drill target areas, detail mapping and procuring all of the necessary permits with British Columbia.
