January 31, 2014 - While most people will be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday, Chief Geologist Charles Watson will record the game and head out to his Squirrel Creek Mine for a day of prospecting and reconnaissance. This coming Tuesday is an onsite meeting... with the National Forest Service to review his Mineral Exploration and Testing Plan of Operations. The Plan calls for the use of an excavator, haul truck and wash plant to test the gold content of the remnant glacial deposits. He his hopeful to have the permit in hand by May 1st and start work shortly thereafter.

The plan is to excavate a number of test pits and trenches in various locations and determine the thickness and grade of the deposits. This will achieve a volume that will estimate the total value of the resource. Charles believes there is about 30 million cubic yards of material grading roughly 30 yards per ounce gold, which equals about 1 million ounces of gold.

Historically, the gold was abundant and chunky. Charles believes that the old miners only went for the large nuggets and missed the small stuff. However together, this resource has a large, untapped potential and Charles is excited about the upcoming opportunity.

Charles is seeking capital partners to share in this golden opportunity. Contact him for more information.
