Mineralization
Available literature, surface mapping, and observation of drill core samples on the Ranch property
did not indicate the presence of any mineralization that could potentially provide a mineral
resource that would be in conflict with the objectives of developing a surface mine for aggregate
stone. No minerals of economic value were identified such as precious metal, non-precious metal,
industrial minerals, gemstones, or any other economic minerals. No sulfides or any other water
degradation minerals were identified on the Ranch property. All observations pertaining to the
potential for other minerals of economic value to be present on the Ranch property were limited
to visual inspections of drill core samples, surface outcrop and from road cuttings.
Conclusion
Section 16 of the Ranch property contains deposits of granitic basement rock that can support an
aggregate crushed stone facility.Aerial photo interpretations, surface mapping, exploration drilling
and geologic modeling were used to identify those areas best suited for extraction of basement
rock using surface mining methods. Aggregate product test results from drill core samples taken
by Transit Mix in 2014 show the basement rock to be suitable material for a sized aggregate stone
product. Further detailed exploration conducted by Norwest in 2015 and 2017 provide the
