The survey will cover the entire Bayhorse property. Historic geological mapping (Figure 1) shows that the rhyolite body hosting silver mineralization at the Bayhorse Mine in Oregon extends into Idaho. Recent geological mapping by Dr. Clay Conway identified numerous copper-silver showings and old surface workings.Since the Hercules Silver discovery of a copper porphyry deposit approximately 40 km (26 miles) north-northeast of the Bayhorse Mine (see Figure 2 below), and Hercules acquiring a second property 24 km (14 miles) NE of Bayhorse, the Company is aware that significant staking of additional claims by a number of staking parties (including the Company) on properties between the Bayhorse Silver Mine and Hercules ground has taken place, including the Wolf Creek Property, 11 Km (7 miles) to the northeast of Bayhorse.

This has spurred Bayhorse to extend further the known silver-rich zones, including exploring potential areas at the Mine to depth. Gold grades up to 10 grams/tonne were reported at the Bayhorse Mine during the historic 1984 mining program. Dr, G.E. Ray, P.Geo., sampled the highest grade of silver/copper at ...
