The extension of the payment terms will allow the Company to focus its financial resources on the upcoming exploration drill program at the Idaho-Maryland Gold Project. The Mill Site land purchase has previously been disclosed by news releases on August 8th 2017 and April 7th 2107. The Company has invested US$600,000 in the Property to date.

The Company believes this land purchase is a valuable addition to the Idaho-Maryland Gold Project.

The Mill Site property is located directly adjacent to the Brunswick Mine shaft where the Company currently owns 37 acres of surface land. The Mill Site land previously hosted a major commercial lumber mill and 55,000 ft2 of industrial buildings until 1991. All buildings have subsequently been removed. The property has a large leveled area of ~40 acres. The Mill Site has a recycle pond which was constructed in 1988 and used to collect spray runoff from the lumber mill. The pond has a surface area of approximately 3.7 acres and a design capacity of approximately 40 acre-feet. The pond is believed to be lined with a single 2 ft layer of clay and was designed by a registered civil engineer.
