Corporate Update - Poly and Stewart Properties
The Corporation is continuing with its planning and funding efforts to advance both the Poly and Stewart Properties in anticipation of a summer/fall 2014 exploration program.
The Corporation is currently evaluating and negotiating with a group of service providers in the Stewart area, that provide exploration related mining services, to fund on behalf of the Corporation monies required under the Agreement in exchange for committing to engaging their services in the Corporation's summer/fall exploration program.
The Corporation is continuing it discussions with a few parties in effort to complete an equity financing to fund the summer/fall 2014 exploration program on the Poly and Stewart properties. The Corporation cautions that there can be no assurances that an equity financing can be completed.
Stewart
The Stewart Property requires a minimum 2014 exploration program of about $200,000 to generate the necessary assessment work to maintain the large property.
As discussed above, contingent on budget availability, a proposed C$900,000 drill program would entail at least 2000 m of diamond drilling. The proposed program would comprise 4, ~250 m holes and 2-3, ~450 m holes to test the down dip and along strike extension of the A and E Zones within the Deltaic Grid.
Poly
A 2014 follow-up program totalling about $535,000 and including at least 1000 m of diamond drilling is proposed to further test the potential of an Eskay Creek type precious metal target.
Remaining exploration expenditures on the Poly Tenures of the Poly Property is $98,143 (plus 2014 & 2015 Option and Share Payments) to earn its 70% interest in the Poly Tenures. A 2014 minimum $200,000 exploration program is planned on the Lord Nelson Tenures (LNT) which forms part of the Poly Property. LNT expenditures are credited toward the earn-in on the Poly Tenures.
The Corporation is also currently evaluating acquisition opportunities throughout the Stewart Region of British Columbia.
