STUYAHOK GOLD PROSPECT

The Stuyahok prospect, located in the Marshall Mining District is a promising gold-lode exploration target located adjacent to the historic Stuyahok placer gold mine that produced about 30,000 ounces of gold. The Stuyahok target is buried beneath surficial deposits and has been explored through shallow augering methods by Calista and Teck Resources with trenching by Placer Dome. Adjacent to the Stuyahok placer mine on Flat Creek, the soil-geochemical anomaly is associated with a northeast-trending swarm of feldspar-quartz porphyry dikes that are the same rock type and age as mineralized dikes at Donlin Creek. This 1000-meter by 500-meter gold-arsenic zone is directly coincident with a pronounced, northeast-trending magnetic low. Trenching by Placer Dome in 1999 revealed intercepts of up to 24 meters averaging 1 gram per metric tonne. An airborne magnetic survey displays a prospective extension of the anomalous zone towards the southwest.
