The development of these claims will progress in Four (4) Stages:
Phase I- The first Phase will involve general exploration, mapping and sampling. The property will be mapped, randomly sampled and the property geologically evaluated for possible additional claim filings. A geological description of the possible structures will be developed as well as correlation of historical data and initial permitting.
Phase II- in Phase 2, a second and more complete sampling program will be implemented as well as recommendations with respect to mining the ore body. An NI 43-101 report commissioned. A small scale trommel will be used in the testing process to determine later production and Au extraction requirements. The Phase II extraction system will resemble as close a possible a small scale production facility.
Phase III and IV- will involve decisions regarding the size of expansion all based on the in ground reserves, gold and silver prices, the results of the Phase I and II, etc.
The JV requires the Company to fund the 4 phases of development under the following funding schedule:
