In May 2012, the Company announced that they had granted Liberty an option to earn a 60% joint venture interest in the McCord Creek Gold Property. To earn their interest, Liberty must complete US$600,000 in exploration expenditures and make US$85,000 in cash payments over three years to earn a 60% joint venture interest. The 2012 program, funded by Liberty, expended about US$160,000 on power auger assisted soil sampling and rock sampling.
To date, 439 soil samples and 73 rock samples have been collected from the McCord Creek Gold Property. The 2011 and 2012 programs have identified seven multi-element soil anomalies, associated with multiple anomalous gold values (>100 parts per billion or "ppb"), which are considered to be of exploration significance by David Adams, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. The two largest multi-element soil anomalies, exceeding 10 ppb gold, are approximately 1500 by 400 metres, and 1100 by 500 metres in size. The maximum soil value exceeds 100 ppb gold, which is the upper detection limit for the analytical method used. In his November 2012 report, Adams recommends additional claim staking, soil sampling, trenching and geophysics. In follow-up to these recommendations, the 2013 field program is currently in the planning stages.
The McCord Creek Gold property is located in the eastern extension of the Livengood gold district and immediately adjoins International Tower Hill's ("ITH") Livengood Property on the eastern side. ITH have reported an in-situ measured and indicated resource (at 0.22 grams per tonne cut-off) of 16.5 million ounces of gold (see the ITH website for complete disclosure).
