The property has a long history dating back to 1864. Available records indicate production between 1933 and 1941, from the near surface zones on the property, grading 400 gms Ag/ton to 3,700 gms Ag/T (12 to 108 ounces per ton) which was sent to a mill located at McGill, Nevada. More recent work in 1971 concentrated on surface sampling and several short drill holes looking at the continuity of the higher-grade silver portions of the deposits. Table 1 lists some of the historic intersections from the 1971 drill program. These intersections are historic and the Qualified Person has been unable to fully verify the results and thus these results should not be relied upon.

No other assays are reported, although gold, copper, lead and zinc mineralization has been described.
Charles (Bill) Reed, a director of Urastar and co-founder of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp (NYSE: PXG) stated "Urastar is very pleased to have aquired the Blackpoint Project in the most profilic Gold-Silver district in the world. An aggressive drill program will be commenced shortly to test targets and build a compliant resource."
Examination of the surface geology shows Blackpoint hosts a silica-sericite (or "low-sulfidation") epithermal silver-gold system with extensive silica-sericite alteration, high-grade silver bearing veins, stockwork and breccia and scattered gold values. This style of mineralization is typical of that found at the active and historic mines in the area. The property is divided into two distinct halves by an east west orientated structure with the Condor zone in the north and the Eagle Ridge and Dot zones in the south. All the previous work was centered around the silver mineralization with no work done in looking for the gold bearing part of the system that may be located more towards the centre or at depth of the peripheral silver zones.
Geological work completed in 2007 by Mosquito determined that the property had not been properly explored. The presence of asymmetrical alteration zones, the large east-west orientated structure offsetting the mineralized zone and the presence of fall out breccias to the southwest, all indicate an unrecognized southwest plunge to the system. Additional detailed mapping confirmed a significant increase in the intensity and thickness of the silicification toward the central area. This resulted in the previous drill programs failing to explore the main exploration targets beneath the exposed silica breccia zone.
Urastar will begin an aggressive exploration program of detailed surface mapping, sampling and drilling to define and test these highly prospective, previously unexplored exploration targets, concentrating on finding the gold bearing portion of the system at depth, while continue to develop the near surface silver mineralization.
