KAPA GOLD PROVIDES UPDATE ON BLACKHAWK PERMITTING
VANCOUVER, BC – November 9, 2023 – KAPA GOLD INC. (TSXV:KAPA) (“Kapa” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce it has received permission from San Bernardino National Forest District
(“SBNFD”) to proceed with the proposed rehabilitation of access roads leading to its patented claims
containing the historic Blackhawk Mine near Lucerne Valley, San Bernardino County, California, USA.
Having reviewed the Company’s Plan of Operation to access its mining operations and existing adits,
SBNFD has granted the work authorization based on the condition that there will be no significant
ground disturbance from the proposed activity. This road rehabilitation will allow Kapa to enter the
historic workings of its patented, past producing, high-grade gold mine and to conduct underground
surveys and initiate underground exploration.
Kapa intends to immediately undertake road and access rehabilitation, and as previously reported ,
engaged an experienced local San Bernadino contrator, Lilburn Corporation , to assist with the road
work and adit clearance at the Blackhawk mine. The contractor is expected to commence activity on
the roadways promptly. Following the completion of the proposed work Kapa wil l commence an
underground mine inspection by a California Certified Underground Mining Engineer in regard to the
safety in initiating underground exploration.
The patented claims are issued by the federal government and gives the owner exclusive title to the
locatable minerals and title to the surface and other resources. A patented claim can be used for any
purpose desired by the owner, just like any other real estate. The Blackhawk property patented lode
and mill site claims were patented by the US federal government in 1924. The BLM mineral claims are
accessible under the provisions of the Mining Law of 1872, subject to the approval from the US Forest
Service and/or Bureau of Land Management. Owne rship of the claims gives the right, subject to
federal, state and local permits and approvals, to explore for and develop mineral resources.
Blackhawk mineral claims are located on both BLM and US Forest Service lands.
The Blackhawk mine property contains patented lode claims with historic underground operations
which will allow for expedited underground exploration drilling with no surface disturbances, without
additional permitting requirements. Kapa will also be undertaking a ground Mag-VLF-EM geophysical
survey over all its surface mineral showings to confirm continuity along strike.
