Gold and Precious Metals

The Bullard Pass Project, Arizona

Canadian Mining has assembled a large land package consisting of some 4000 acres of mineral rights on 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. The geology of the Bullard district is dominated by the Bullard detachment fault.

In 1992, the history and geology of the Bullard district was summarized in Arizona geological Open-File Report 92-1, titled Mineral Deposits of the Bullard District, Harcuvar Mountains, Yavapai County, Arizona. The report states that "the mineralogical 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."

Details on mineralization associated with detachment faults

Detachment fault-associated deposits, most recently recognized by the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources, rate with well-known models such as epithermal veins, porphyry copper, and volcanogenic massive sulfide in importance. A number of economic detachment fault deposits have already been identified in the State of Arizona.

While a range of minerals may be present in detachment faults, Canadian Mining Company Inc. has elected to concentrate on gold-copper oxide mineralization, particularly in and around the Company's Bullard Pass property and surrounding area.

Canadian Mining Company Inc. aims to discover large-tonnage gold deposits along upper plate structures, or at intersections between these structures using the detachment fault mineralization model.

Drill targets will be defined based on geological mapping and cross sections that identify the location of favorable upper plate faults using chemical indicators, alteration-associated mineral packages, and geophysical techniques to target potential mineralized zones along these faults.

Detachment faults occur as large, low angle faults with greater than ten kilometer displacements. In combination with upper plate faults, detachment faults provide pathways for hydrothermal fluid flow and mineral deposition.

Arizona, Processing Plant

Canadian Mining owns a 100% interest in a precious metals processing plant in Aguila, Arizona. The plant is in the immediate vicinity of the Company's Bullard Pass project. The facility encompasses 12 acres of rail and highway accessible industrial property which is permitted, serviced and has additional water capacity to meet production requirements.
