PROPERTY CONSISTS OF 48 LODE CLAIMS WHICH CONTROL THE PENNSYLVANIA QUARTZ VEIN SYSTEM, AND THE PENNSYLVANIA MINE SITE ALSO LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY IS THE PARTIALLY DEVELOPED JUMBO AU-AG OPEN PTI. EXPLORATION AND DRILLING CONTINUE AS OF 5-97. PREVIOUS EXPLORATION HAS IDENTIFIED A POTENTIAL BULK-MINEABLE, OPEN PIT, RESOURCE OF 700,000 TONS GRADING 0.039 OPT GOLD IN THE CENTRAL CORE AREA. EARLY GOLD-SILVER PRODUCTION IS EXPECTED FROM RESERVES IN THE EXPANDED JUMBO ZONE. ADDITIONAL RESERVES ARE BELIEVED PRESENT IN THE FORMER HEAPLEACH PILE CONTAINING APPROX 50-60000 TONS OF 0.03 OPT AU AND 0.8 OPT AG.
