Exhibit A
The Pisgah Mine Project is located in San Bernardino County, 72 kilometers (45 miles) east of the city of Barstow, California, and 307 kilometers (192 miles) south-southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Barstow lies near the southwest border of California, east of the junction of Interstate 15, Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 66. The Project is centered at Latitude 34o 44' 47” North, Longitude 116o 22' 29” West, or UTM (metric) co-ordinates 55700 E/384500 N in Zone 11, datum point NAD 27. It lies within Section 32, Township 8 North, Range 6 East from San Bernardino Meridian. It has an area of 48.4 hectares (120.2 acres). In 1997 Can-Cal Resources Ltd., a Las Vegas, NV based exploration company, gained 100% ownership of the claim which covers the Pisgah property.
Access to the Pisgah Project is by the paved 2-lane paved road from the junction of Interstate 15 and Interstate 40 just east of Barstow, California travel east along Interstate 40 for 52 kilometers (32.5 miles). Take the Hector Rd. Exit and turn right onto Hector Rd. From here turn left onto Historic Route 66 for 7.4 kilometers (4.6 miles), and then turn right (south) onto the Pisgah Crater road. Follow this road for 3.2 kilometers (2.0 miles) to the Pisgah Crater workings.
The Pisgah Mining Property lies near the south end of the Mojave Desert. The region forms the southwestern extent of Precambrian continental North America and rests at the present plate edge formed by the San Andreas transform fault. An oceanic plate has bordered the region since late Precambrian time. Starting in late Miocene time the Mojave Desert area was dissected by NW-trending right-lateral strike-slip faults with local areas of E-trending left-lateral strike-slip faults.
