The Bullard Pass Project, Arizona
In early 2007 Canadian Mining commenced assembling a large land package of mineral rights of unpatented claims surrounding the Bullard Mine, a past gold producer in Arizona. The regional setting of the Bullard district is typical of detachment fault gold deposits.
Canadian Mining focused on the Bullard Pass area based on the 1992 Arizona geological Open-File Report 92-1 that states "the mineralogic and structural similarities of the Bullard and Copperstone districts suggests that potential exists for a major gold deposit in the area of the Bullard district."
Armed with a new geological model and backed by 100 years of historical exploration data showing the presence of gold at the Bullard, Canadian Mining commenced exploration.
- Spring 2007 assembled a large land package
- August 2007 conducted an Orientation Survey
- September 2007 identified key detachment faults
- January 2008 conducted 1000 sample enzyme leach test resulting in 30% gold anomalous
- April 2008 completed an additional 1000 samples to identify drill targets
- July 2008 completed a 43-101 Technical Report
- August 2009 received permits for drilling and water
- December 2009 posted bonds with the Bureau of Land Management and Arizona State Land Department for drilling
- Early 2010 commenced 4000 foot drill program; assays qualified anomalous hydrothermal elements in all holes. Gold values ranged up to .2 oz/ton, with a number of anomalous intercepts up to 50 feet thick, including one continuous 150 foot intercept

The Bullard Pass Property is located within the Pierce mining district in Arizona, USA.
To date, Canadian Mining has expended in excess of $750,000 on the Bullard Pass Gold Project and is currently seeking a JV partner or suitable arrangement to advance this project to a Phase two 100,000 foot drill program. This drill program is planned to expand on the anomalous areas by conducting three $1 million phases of 30-35 RC drill holes each.
The Bullard Pass project has geological, mining and metallurgical similarities to:
1. The Copperstone which has produced over 500,000 ounces of gold and currently reports a 313,000 ounce reserve with an indicated category of 256,000 ounces of gold.
2. The Mesquite Mine which previously produced 2.3 million ounces and currently New Gold reports a resource of 4.9 million ounces and reserves of 3.1 million ounces.
Small companies like Canadian Mining are often responsible for finding great properties, advancing new geological concepts and conducting the initial rounds of exploration to prove a holding's potential for subsequent groups. Canadian Mining's investment in the Bullard has added significant value to the exploration potential of this property.
