Corporate Update
Timmins Area Gold Properties
Four of the Company's gold properties are scheduled to have geophysical and diamond drilling programs carried out this season. The Clavos East Leases are under review by a private gold company, and are contiguous to Sage Gold Inc.'s optioned, suspended mine on the Pipestone Fault Zone. The Company is currently seeking potential purchasers or joint venture partners in respect of the gold properties, pursuant to the advisory agreement with Red Cloud discussed above, in order to maximize shareholder value.
Nunavut
The Company is disassembling its permanent exploration camp at Mouse Lake in Nunavut in order to comply with newer Land Use rules in Nunavut. This will result in significant annual savings to the Company. Future work will be conducted using seasonal inflatable facilities which can be removed after any exploratory programs and stored at Kugluktuk.
All untested target area leases are in good standing. Recently, several uranium exploration programs have been announced by other operators in Nunavut.
Copper Mountain Mine 5% NSR
At a May 4, 2015 meeting in Toronto, the Company met with management of Copper Mountain Mining Corporation ("Copper Mountain") to discuss the area of the Company's 5% net smelter return royalty (the "NSR") on the Copper Mountain property holdings located near Penticton, British Columbia. As previously disclosed in the Company's press release dated September 17, 2013, the Company completed a legal survey of the mineral rights underlying the NSR, which concluded that the NSR covers approximately 4,000 acres (1619 ha.) or approximately 22.3% of the 18,000 acre (7284.34 ha.) property comprising the Copper Mountain Mine, which is a joint venture between Copper Mountain (which owns a 75% interest) and Mitsubishi Materials Corp. (which owns a 25% interest) of the property.
The Company is awaiting the filing by Copper Mountain of its National Instrument 43-101 report on the Copper Mountain Mine prior to the Company filing its evaluation data, including its engineering study conducted in the last quarter of 2014.
