CURRENT STATUS OF THE “BOUSE” AND “SOUTH COPPERSTONE” GOLD EXPLORATION PROPERTIES
Unpatented mining claims are renewed annually with the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and filings and claim
maintenance fees are due on September 1 of each year for the following year. At September 1, 2009, the Bouse Project was comprised of 26
unpatented mining claims (14 lode claims and 12 placer claims); the South Copperstone Project was comprised of 37 unpatented mining claims
(1 lode claim and 36 placer claims).
It was determined that both the Bouse and South Copperstone gold properties had primarily lode gold deposit potential, and the placer claims
were not renewed for 2010. Lode claims cover gold that is found in rock in place, as contrasted with placer claims which cover gold found in
unconsolidated stream sediments and gravel. Virtually all known past gold production from the Bouse and Copperstone Mining.
