Mapping and Prospecting Program 

The Company has commenced a detailed mapping and prospecting program (the
"Program") on its Phoenix Gold Properties. The goal of the Program is to develop
a detailed understanding and interpretation of the geology and structural
controls over the Phoenix Gold Properties and to determine the optimal drill
sites for the proposed drill programs to be carried out on each of the Phoenix
Gold Properties.


Drill Program

The Company anticipates starting its first drill program on the Plumas Property
before the end of June 2014. The Plumas Property is an outcropping high grade
gold mineralized system that has never been drill tested, located adjacent to
Newmont's Phoenix-Fortitude pit to the east. The Plumas Property has two
patented claims for a total of 40 acres with extralateral rights and one mill
site claim.
