Dow Jones Description

We are a North American precious metals mining company, focused in Nevada, with land holding in the Comstock Gold-Silver District of Nevada. The Company has defined an initial resource at the Hartford deposit and has secured several of the key mining permits required to develop the project. The Company is currently engaged in an aggressive exploration program to define the extent of the Hartford Deposit, assess other key exploration targets on its large land package and push the project toward production. The high-grade nature of the bulk tonnage Hartford deposit and its favorable configuration has potentially positioned the Company to become a new gold-silver producer in the future. In early 2007, we temporary closed our mining operation. This shutdown allowed the Company to focus on the geology to gain a comprehensive understanding of the mineralization at the Hartford complex at our Comstock project. The company commenced a drilling program in December 2007 to further delineate the ore body and to determine the most effective process for mining operations. The goal has been to define and map the ore body and to prepare geologic cross sections to be utilized in mine planning and as a result, to be able to build a new mine model using geostatistics and extensive drill hole data. There is also ongoing metallurgic testing to attempt to maximize recovery of the high grade fraction of the ore and to determine optimum size to continue heap leaching.
