During Phase II, the Company's partner, Northern Vertex expects to advance approx 20,000 ft of reverse circulation (RC) and core drilling at the promising western extension of the Moss gold-silver site. Drilling of four holes has already been completed and analytical results for these first four drill holes are expected shortly. Through the current resource expansion program, the company plans to further boost and expand the attractive resource foundation we currently have in place. We will also continue to develop our metallurgical, geotechnical , environmental, hydrological and economic scoping data base as a precursor to future mine permitting and feasibility."

The Moss Mine Project is situated in the historic Oatman Mining district in northwestern Arizona. Since announcing the joint venture project with Northern Vertex in March 2011, the project has completed 59 drill holes through RC and coring techniques. The Moss deposit is a low sulfidation epithermal stockwork deposit with a strike length in excess of one mile.
