The required permit and bond are in place with the Bureau of Land Management and 1500 meters of core and reverse circulation drilling is expected to test both targets.\n \n\n\n Drill Target Areas:\n \n\n\n\n Rast\n \n\n\n The Rast area has been the focus of widely spaced, and mostly shallow, historic drilling over an area largely covered by shallow alluvium. Holes intersected strong pathfinder elements and sporadic gold intercepts; however, important geochemical, structural, and stratigraphic data from these holes indicates that the potential of this area remains largely untested. Drilling in the Rast area has demonstrated the presence of anomalous gold in decalcified Lower Plate carbonate host rocks. Shallow trenches expose strongly silicified and clay-altered Orovician-age carbonate rocks (hosts at the Company's nearby\n \n Quito\n \n property and elsewhere). A 300 meter long, open-ended, easterly trending gold-arsenic-antimony soil anomaly is present to the east of the historic Rast mercury mine. In addition, Lower Plate rocks with intense alteration consistent with\n \n Carlin\n \n -type gold systems are present at surface approximately 800 meters to the northwest of the historic Rast mine. The current drilling will test one of three target areas where there are anomalous soils at the intersection of Lower Plate carbonate host rocks below the Roberts Mountains Thrust and NW normal faults.\n \n\n\n Cottonwood\n \n\n\n At the Cottonwo...
