The Fencemaker Project is located in th e Stillwater Range of west central Nevada, approximately 194 kilometers northeast of the city of Reno, Nevada, and more locally approximately 60 kilometers east-southeast of the town of Lovelock. STOCKPILE RESERVES, LLC wishes to operate an underground antimony mine on the property . Ope rations would consist of drilling, blasting and ore removal from an existing underground mine and processing of the ore at a separately located sorting/crushing plant. On March 14, 2009 Stockpile acquired a five (5) year Mining Lease from Silver Bell Mining & Developing, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. The Company ha s also acquired an option for the land to be used for processing . It includes five unpatented contiguous mining claims that cover a total of 100.0 acres (40.47 hectare s) . The position of the property is Latitude 40° 04’20.03"N, Longitude 117° 51'36.25" W. All of the claims are in sections 31, Township 26 and section 6, Township 25 North, both in Range 37 East (T26N, R37E; T25, R37E); Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (MDB&M) + (Mine Area) of Pershing County, Nevada . The plant site is located in Section 32, Township 28 N, Range 32 E, Pershing County and covers 111.8 acres (45.24 hectares). Access to the Fencemaker Project is by paved two - lane Hwy. 80 north - northeast 10 kilom eters from Lovelock to East Coal Canyon Road and from there east for an additional 61 kilometers. The plant lies on the west side of this road turnoff. The area is typically arid to semi - arid, hot duri ng summer . Work in the area will require regular mainte nance of the access routes but the climate is conducive to year round operations. Topography in the area is generally rolling with a cap of more resistant young rhyolite flows over the main host rock metamorphosed limestone. The project lies at an elevati on of 5715 ft. (1741 m) A.S.L. The project is part of the Table Mountain Mining District that includes southeastern Pershing and northeastern Churchill counties. The first mining discovery in the district was of copper ore made in 1861. Silver-lead deposits of Cornish Camp on the west side of the mountain range were worked in the early 1870s. The Fencemaker Mine was established and first shipped antimony ore in the 1880s. Gold was reportedly discovered in the district in 1922, and the Green Gold Mine was worked intermittently from the 1930s to the 1960s. Production has been limited. The Fencemaker mine produced one ton of antimony metal from the 1880s. There is no record of exploration for gold on or around the immediate mine area. The Fencemaker undergroun d mine was operated by Silver Bell Mining Company from 1966 to 1981. Only a small amount of sampling of the old workings has been carried out since then.
