The Deep Creek claims are located approximately 112 kilometers north of Elko, Nevada, and 56 kilometers northeast of the Newmont-owned Midas mine, in the Independence segment of the prolific Carlin gold trend.

As of March 2010 (see News Release), a surface program has commenced at Deep Creek with results expected in the near future. The Company emphasizes that both the resource and reserve estimates are historical, and a qualified person has not done sufficient work toclassify either the historical estimate or the historical reserve estimate as current mineral resources, therefore these historical reserves should not be relied on and do not have currently demonstrated economic viability .
