Note 1: The total number of claims may vary by one or two percentage points at any given time because of the size of the land holdings and strategies in land management. The Company intends to follow a strategy of protecting key claims of the various properties containing the best known Mineralization from expiring by applying existing work credits, or cash in lieu until these properties are farmed out, joint ventured or a work program planned in the more distant future.
