Overview
The Corporation owns 100% of the Pumpkin Hollow Copper Development Property in the Walker Lane mineralized belt of Western Nevada. Pumpkin Hollow is an advanced development stage copper property, which contains Measured and Indicated Resources totaling 4 Billion pounds of Copper plus additional Inferred Resources of 3.9 Billion pounds of Copper (all using a 0.2% copper cutoff grade). This 7.9 Billion pound copper resource and associated 144 million ton iron, 1.3 million ounces of gold and 57 million ounces of silver was estimated effective October, 2007. Contained within the larger resource is a high grade core of 116 million tons grading 1.4 % Copper at a 0.75% cutoff containing 3 Billion pounds of Copper. Ongoing drilling has yet to define the limits of this world class Copper-Iron-Gold-Silver deposit Robust Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) results were announced on March, 17, 2008, demonstrating that at a $1.75 long term copper price, the Pumpkin Hollow Copper Project has a $US 765 Million NPV at an 8% discount, with an IRR of 24%. At a $3.00 copper price the project’s discounted NPV increases to $US 1.9 Billion. The NI43-101 compliant technical report highlighted several additional areas that have the potential to further improve the already solid economic base. With a 2008, 40,000 meter drilling program currently underway, the Company intends to aggressively move the property forward through feasibility, and is confident that at current metals prices, the Pumpkin Hollow Copper property will soon host Nevada’s Next Copper Mine. Key Points:
- NI 43-101 Compliant Resource of 7.9 Billion Pounds Copper
- 1.3 Million Oz. Gold, 57 Million ozs. Silver, 144 Million Tons of Iron
- Robust Preliminary Economics Reported
- NPV $ 800 Million to $2 Billion at 8% Discount
