Iron Mask Project

High Grade Silver Project. Same “Belt Series” Rocks as the Coeur d’ Alene Mining District

which produced over 1 billion ounces of Silver located 50 miles away. Same rock package

that hosts Hecla’s Rock Creek project that contains 220 million ounces of silver

approximately 50 miles away.

Both near term economic production opportunity concurrent with potential to discover

world class ore body.

Large land position hosting multiple high-grade silver veins.

Idaho State Lease has reasonable and near term ability for approval for mining.

Project Geology

Same “Belt Series” rocks as the Coeur d’ Alene Mining District which produced over 1 billion ounces of silver. 50 miles away.

Hosted in the most favorable St. Regis/Revett formations for High Grade Silver Veins.

Similar Mineralogy to the higher grade Silver Veins in the CDA district.

Samples as high as 229 ounces per ton have been taken across the Iron Mask Vein.

Coeur d’ District Type Veins Known to Persist

to Great Depth

Ore Veins Persist to Depth

Star Mine – Mined one vein over 7,800 vertical feet

Sunshine – Mined associated veins over 6,400 vertical feet

Bunker Hill – Mined over 5,000 vertical feet

Galena Mine – Mined associated veins over more than 5,000 vertical feet

Lucky Joe Vein Historic Resource of 92,637 Tons of ore @

.09 gold and 15.49 ounces per ton silver. Followed in the

Talache Mine for 3000ft. Of strike and 1800 ft. at depth. It

still open along both strike and dip.

3 Recent Dump Sample Assayed .096 ounces per to gold and

70.9 ounces per ton silver, .168 ounces per ton gold and 11.92

ounces per ton silver, and .15 ounces per ton gold and 10.50

Historic Production

• Talache Mine is estimated to have 2 million ounces of silver between 1922

and 1926. Copies of old Smelter shipments from the 1920s’ show silver

averaged 500 ounces per ton from hand sorted ores.

• A 993 pound shipment of ore shipped to the Tacoma smelter in the 1950’s

averaged 0.04 oz Au/ton, 178.78 oz Ag/ton and 2.11% Copper

• In the early 1980’s a load of ore was hauled to the Teck smelter in Trail,

British Columbia, Canada for payment of $15,000. The ore averaged over 80

oz Ag/ton.

Iron Mask Vein

The total estimated amount of silver and

copper contained within the Iron Mask ore

shoot is 820,611 ounces silver and 2,486,700

pounds of copper from 41,445 tons of ore.

195 feet of potential mineable ore at four feet

width, 140 feet above track level for a resource

of 10,745 tons at 19.8 oz. Ag/ton, and 0.30%

copper.

30,700 tons at 19.8 oz. Ag/ton, 0.30% Copper

was estimated below track level to the Iron

Mask #3 Tunnel Level located 400 feet below

the #2 tunnel.

the Iron Mask Vein and resource blocks (10,745 tons at 19.8 oz. Ag/ton to 140 feet above track level and 30,700 tons at 19.8 oz.

Ag/ton to 400 feet below track level to the Iron Mask #3 tunnel. A mining width of 5 feet wide would decrease the overall

grade to 15.9 oz. Ag/ton, 0.2% Cu for a resource of 13,440 tons located 140 feet above the #2 tunnel and 38,400 ton resource

located between the #2 and #3 tunnels (tonnage would increase by approximately 20%).
