The Imperial Mine (the "Imperial") has been estimated to have produced between 2,000 and 3,000 ounces of gold several decades ago, however more recent exploration work has defined a resource of +0.05 ounce per ton gold and identified the presence of several significant gold targets with Carlin-style mineralization. Sediment hosted gold deposits in certain parts of Nevada are referred to as Carlin-type deposits.

Regionally, the Imperial is located within the Walker Lane, which hosts several important gold and precious metals deposits such as Bullfrog, Goldfield, and Tonopah. The Goldfield District has produced nearly 5 million ounces, a large portion of which came from two claims comprising approximately 40 acres of ground.

Management anticipates drills will be in place on the property this month. The company will not release any corporate drill data until the first phase of exploration is well underway.

"The Imperial is an exciting mineral exploration property, in an area which we believe to be one of the highest-profile mineral regions in Nevada," said Donald Neal, President and CEO. "We believe that the Imperial, together with the highly-prospective Gilman project, comprise a significant foothold in what has historically been one of the most valuable and concentrated gold districts in the world."
