Gregory River Property
The Property is comprised of 137 claims under 17 mineral licences, covering 3,425 hectares or approximately 8,463 acres and is located on the western portion of the island of Newfoundland, approximately 14 Kilometres ("km") south of the community of Trout River and 40 km northwest of Corner Brook.

The Property is centered over an approximately 11-kilometer-long stretch of the Gregory River volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") belt, a north-northeast trending corridor of very prospective ground for precious and base metal mineralization. In addition, the Property hosts a cluster of high-grade copper-gold vein structures that occur just east of the VMS-belt.

Intermittent exploration has taken place over the Property since the 1920's and has resulted in the discovery of numerous high-grade copper and gold prospects and occurrences. The Property has not seen any significant activity since 2008 and still remains largely underexplored.
