Crown, formed by the recent amalgamation of Crown Minerals and Gold Summit, is exploring for high grade gold and silver deposits in Nevada and Ontario. In Nevada, Crown has NI 43-101 compliant inferred resources totaling approximately 337,000 ounces of gold at its Monte Cristo and Sugarloaf properties. These are the most advanced of five, high-grade, epithermal vein systems controlled by Crown. The existing resources at Monte Cristo and Sugarloaf remain open along strike and at depth. Planning for further exploration and underground or open-pit development is underway. The three other Nevada properties, Blue Sphinx, Gold Springs and Black Warrior, all contain well-defined, essentially undrilled targets.
In Ontario, Crown has reported encouraging assay results from drilling on its McKenzie Island property at Red Lake. Crown is planning a new drill program on the McKenzie Island project to begin in the next few days. Other northwest Ontario properties are Tabour Lake near Kenora and Surprise Lake in the Uchi Belt, east of Red Lake. In northeastern Ontario, Crown holds strategic land positions adjacent to Trelawney's Chester discovery near Gogama, at the old Stairs Mine near Matachewan and in the Timmins camp.
