Twin Peaks, Arizona
Overview
The Twin Peaks Property is a partially drilled, copper oxide deposit that has excellent infrastructure and potential for a large open-pit copper oxide body with very low strip ratio. A surface area measuring 750 meters by 520 meters exhibits veins, veinlets, and stockworks of chrysocolla and secondary malachite, tenorite, and cuprite and chalcocite hosted by a pyrite-poor Laramide-age quartz monzonite. Only six drill holes have tested this target, each with highly encouraging results, including one hole with 86.9m grading 0.37% total copper starting at surface. The copper oxide zone is open and untested under alluvial cover to the north, west and south.

2010 Exploration Plan
- Systematic grid-based drilling to outline large tonnage porphyry copper oxide deposit in first half of 2010
- Drill up to 30 holes with 15,000 foot program
- All reverse circulation (RC)
- 75m drill hole spacing
- Expected 43-101 resource calculation in 2010
