Corporate Business Model

Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation applies its ability to acquire quality gold projects in Nevada, its extensive exploration experience, and the technical skills of its founders to add new gold exploration projects to its pipeline for development and joint venture.

Current Pipeline of Exploration Projects in Nevada

The Golden Arrow Project

Golden Arrow is located in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 60 km (40 mi) east of the town of Tonopah on the western flank of the Kawich Range and on the eastern margin of Stone Cabin Valley within the Golden Arrow mining district. The property consists of 279 unpatented lode mining claims surrounding 17 patented lode mining claims covering an area of approximately 2,300 hectares (5,684 acres). Combined, Gold Coin and Hidden Hill contain a measured and indicated mineral resource of 296,500 ounces gold and 4,008,000 ounces silver (NI 43-101 Technical Report, May, 2009).

The Classified Mineral Resource report is quoted at a variable cut-off grade of 0.010 ounces gold per ton for oxidized material and 0.015 ounces gold per ton for non-oxidized material and consists of:

Approximately 45% of the measured and indicated tons are un-oxidized; the remainder are classified as oxidized.

Drill targeting using geophysical results, geological mapping, and surface and drill sample results is presently underway on this project for the 2010 drill program.

Current JV Details on Golden Arrow

  • Animas can earn a 51% interest in the Golden Arrow Property by spending $3.5 million in exploration over three years
  • Animas must spend $1.0 million by the end of 2010
  • A joint venture will be formed when Animas has earned its 51% interest
  • Once Animas earns its initial 51% interest in Golden Arrow it will be granted a one-time option to earn a 60% interest in the property through the expenditure of an additional $4.0 million.
  • During the option period Animas will be the operator for this property

The Kinsley Mountain Project

Kinsley Mountain is located in the eastern part of Elko County, Nevada between the towns of Ely and Wendover. The property consists of 141 unpatented lode claims covering an area of approximately 1,136 hectares (approximately 2807 acres). Gold mineralization is hosted in Cambrian-age sedimentary rock units including limestone, dolomite and shale. This mineralization exhibits characteristics similar to other sedimentary rock-hosted, Carlin-type gold deposits in northern Nevada. Gold was discovered at Kinsley Mountain in the 1980s. Alta Gold produced 135,000 ounces of gold from oxidized material mined from a number of small, open pits. Surface exploration to identify targets for the 2011 drill program is currently underway.

Current JV Details Kinsley Mountain

  • Animas can earn a 51% interest in the Kinsley Mountain property by spending $1.5 million in exploration expenditures over three years
  • Animas must spend $200,000 by the end of 2010
  • A joint venture will be formed when Animas has earned its 51% interest
  • Upon earning its initial interest Animas will be granted a one-time option to spend a further $3 million in exploration expenditures to earn an additional 14% interest for a total interest of 65%
  • During the option period Animas will be the operator for this property

The Iron Point Project

Iron Point is comprised of 83 unpatented lode claims in the heart of the Iron Point mining district. The project area is located over heavily altered upper plate rocks, a short distance off US Interstate 80 between Elko and Winnemucca, Nevada. Major mines within the vicinity of Iron Point include Lone Tree, Getchell, Twin Creeks, Pinson and Marigold, representing more than 30 million mined and un-mined troy ounces of gold. Iron Point sits at the general intersection of the northeast-striking Getchell trend, the northwest-striking Battle Mountain-Eureka trend, and the general north-south rifted margin of ancestral North America.

The exploration objective at Iron Point is discovery of high-grade carbonate-hosted gold mineralization, similar to the deep high-grade gold ore occurring at nearby mines.

Joint venture opportunities are currently being considered for this project.

The Juniper Project

Juniper is located in Pershing County, approximately 26 miles (42 kilometers) south of Winnemucca. The property consists of 110 unpatented lode mining claims covering an area of approximately 2026 acres (820 hectares) on the east flank of the East Range overlooking Grass Valley. The property is located within the Willow Creek mining district, which includes lode and placer gold mines in and near Willow and Spaulding Canyons. The prospect was "rediscovered" in 1987 and explored by three companies between 1987 and 1998. These companies drilled a total of 134 shallow reverse-circulation holes for 37,074 feet (11,303 meters). A modest gold resource was defined, but exploration was suspended because of low gold market prices.

Joint venture opportunities are currently being considered for this project.
