The previous funding by the principals of the company on an unsecured, non interest bearing loan is no longer available.
The company has arranged for the replacement of the 80% undivided interest and the 80% entitlement to profits by investors generated from certain mining claims with a 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR) on these specific claims for as long as they remain in good standing with the Ontario Department of Mines.
Two preliminary drilling programs, one for the base metal prospect, the other for the gold prospect have been completed with accompanying budgets. The company is actively engaged in negotiations to fund the immediate needs and is also evaluating future funding requirements contingent upon first stage funding being arranged.
There can be no guarantee given that available personnel, funding and equipment for drilling and evaluating the program will be available or that if the program takes place, results will justify continuing either or both programs.
