Flagstaff Property.  The Flagstaff property, located approximately 5 miles west of Northport Washington, and 15 miles south of Rossland, BC is highly prospective for both gold and silver mineralization.

The Company has commenced a diamond drilling program on its 100% optioned property. The first phase of the drill program is up to 1,000 feet of diamond drilling to follow up a number of high grade gold intersections reported by CE Minerals in 1981 at the bottom section of the historic barite deposit on the property during a 19,260 foot definition drill program.

The Company is also planning to conduct a bulk sample and a geophysical survey on the property.

In 1981, CE Minerals of Athens, Georgia, outlined a historic resource of over 1.3 million tons of 4.2SG barite while drill defining an on surface, open pittable, barite deposit. Barite of this SG is used as a weighting agent for drilling oil and gas wells. During the 19,000 plus foot drill program for barite they reported that precious metals assays from 810 feet graded an average of approximately 8.71 g/t Au (0.254 opt/Au), while one 60 foot intersection graded an approximate average of 44.81 g/t Au (1.307 apt/Au).

Two reports by M. Eugene Hartley, the chief geologist for CE Minerals at that time are available for viewing in this section. The first report is on the historic Barite resource, while the second report, presented by Mr. Hartley as a supplement to the Barite report, outlines the gold and silver potential of the property.

Barite is often associated with lead/zinc mineralization and the Company also plans on following up the historic reports of possible lead/zinc mineralization on the Flagstaff property.
