The Company's flagship property is the Blende Project in north-central Yukon, one of the largest undeveloped zinc-lead-silver deposits in Western Canada. More recently the company has acquired a 100% interest in the historic and fully-permitted Engineer Gold Mine, situated 32 km southwest of Atlin, B.C.
