The past producing Empire Mine Project is a polymetallic skarn deposit containing copper, zinc, gold and silver located in the Alder Creek Mining District in Custer County, Idaho. The Property is on the east-facing slope of the White Knob Mountains approximately three miles west of Mackay, Idaho. It consists of 26 patented mining claims, six mill-site claims and 21 unpatented mining claims.

Historic production records indicate the Empire Mine produced 765,000 tons grading 3.64% copper, 0.048 oz/t gold and 1.57 oz/t silver from underground workings in the period 1901 to 1942 (694,000 Tonnes grading 3.64% Cu, 1.64 gm/T Au, and 53.8 gm/T Ag). Geologically, the mineralization is classified as a polymetallic copper-skarn. Mineralization has been encountered over a strike length of 1,200m, thickness of 6m to 73m, and a depth of more than 300m.

In 1997, Cambior Exploration USA Inc. reported a drill-indicated, near-surface, oxide copper resource of 18,230,000 tons grading 0.49% Cu, 0.19% Zn, 0.44 oz/t Ag (15.1 gm/t) and 0.014 oz/t Au (0.48 gm/t), with an additional 9,650,000 tons of material grading 0.29% Cu and 0.31% Zn (Cambior, 1997). A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource; this issuer is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
