About the McKinney Property

The Company secured an option to earn-in to an undivided 75% interest in the McKinney Property pursuant to the Option Agreement with 1218802 B.C. Ltd., dated January 27, 2022. The McKinney Property is located on the southeast slope of Mt. Baldy in southern British Columbia, approximately 25 kilometres northeast of the town of Osoyoos, British Columbia, and directly north of the past-producing Caribou-Amelia mine at Camp McKinney. The McKinney Property is composed of five mineral claims totalling approximately 1,289 hectares and covers a geological setting that is considered prospective for polymetallic vein mineralization similar to known gold-bearing mesothermal veins first discovered at the McKinney camp.

The McKinney Property is accessible by a series of all-weather gravel logging roads that bring access both to the west and east sides.
