The acquisition expands the Company's consolidated land position from 1,280 acres to about 6,500 acres. The acquisition will result in Endurance controlling at least eighteen (18) Tertiary volcanic complexes which define both the northern half and eastern and western extensions of the Rattlesnake Hills Gold District, Wyoming. These Tertiary-aged volcanic complexes are related to the known gold mineralization in the district.
