About the Company
The Company is developing mining operations for gold on the Mon Gold Property, 40 km north
of Yellowknife, NWT. Past production extracted 15,000 tonnes of ore to depths of only 15 m
below surface, recovering an estimated 15,000 ounces of gold. The North Ramp has been
reopened and has been extended to within 60 m of the target portion of the vein. The Company
plans to extend the ramp to where some high-grade historic holes intersected the vein beneath the
previously mined stopes. The plan is to install cross-cuts and raises within the vein to extract
and stockpile the vein material on surface. Upon confirmation of the grade and tonnage, a
permitted mill will be brought in to process this and ongoing mined material.
The property also hosts an outcropping precious-metals rich VMS showing and has four modeled
geophysical targets along strike within felsic tuffs, lithic and lapilli tuffs. These are currently
being assessed for drilling.
The Mon Gold Property mining leases and mineral claims are located 45 km north of the City of
Yellowknife, NWT.
