4. Co-founder:
Douglas H. McGibbon, Vice-President, Exploration
Formerly Chief Geologist, Glamis Marigold Mining Company and Rayrock Mines, Inc. ; Exploration with Pinson Mining Company and Cordex Exploration Company also
Credited with discovery of 10 million oz Au in Nevada
9. Carlin type Au prospect
Four miles from Barrick’s Bald Mountain Mine leach pad; newly accelerated exploration by Barrick in progress in the entire District
Reserves of 2+ Million oz Au in District, multi-million oz Au cumulative production from Bald Mountain alone
Pilot Shale, Chainman Shale, Joana Limestone, and
Devil’s Gate Limestone host rocks present
Significant lengths of leach grade oxide Au mineralization in Sniper’s ‘06-’07 drilling
Altered dike newly recognized for property in Sniper’s drilling
High grade random grab samples on surface
14. Phase 1 Drilling Program Highlights
SOP-06
155-215' 0.250 g/t (0.007 opt Au); includes 20 ft. at 0.011 opt Au
SOP-09 (mostly Au anomalous to 350’,same site as SOP-05, which was mostly Au anomalous to 300’) also 285-295‘ ran 0.231 g/t (0.007 opt Au)
SOP-10 (same site as SOP-06)
205-260' 0.526 g/t (0.015 opt Au); includes 10' at 0.040 opt Au and 25' at 0.014 opt Au
17. Carlin type Au prospect, also prospective for skarn-hosted Au and tungsten
Roberts Mountains and Hanson Creek Formations host rocks are present
Historic skarn tungsten production
Ore grade Au in now-reclaimed trench detected by regional prospecting program
19. Carlin type Au prospect
Roberts Mtns. and Vinini host rocks present
Au/indicator elements anomalous in Tertiary(?) dike
Grid/grab geochem anomalies
Only one hole known to have been drilled on property (unknown party/results); looks very shallow from cuttings pile at site
25. Carlin type Au prospect
Roberts Mountains Formation, Pogonip Group, Hanson Creek Fm.(?), Joana Limestone(?), and Webb Fm. host rocks present
Jasperoid with ore grade gold at both ends of property
Will test intervening Tertiary volcanic covered area by drilling; program is approved and bonded
30. A wildcat distal-disseminated and Carlin type prospect in Humboldt County; located a few miles north of Golconda
About 8 miles west of Pinson Mine which produced over 1 Million oz Au and has a resource of nearly 2 Million oz Au (Atna-Barrick)
About 2 ˝ miles east of Dutch Flat, which has recently been re-explored by Cordex for Piedmont
Valmy Formation host rock present (contains several million oz Au at Goldcorp’s Marigold Mine)
Depth to favorable “lower-plate” rocks may be small
No known historic exploration
