Silver Coin Project – Drill History
Esso, Westmin, and Tenajon 1982-1994
- Aggressive surface and underground drilling
- Combined surface and underground drilling of 422 holes / 37,321 m
- Defined underground mineable deposit and mined ~ 120,000 tons @ 8 g/t Au for ~ 30,000 oz. Au
Pinnacle/Mountain Boy 2004-2008
- Aggressive exploration program by Mountain Boy and Pinnacle from 2004-2008 consisting of surface diamond drilling and trenching
- 320 holes drilled from surface totaling 50,249 m
- Most drilling concentrated on the property’s Kansas and Big Missouri claims
- 71 surface trenches completed, for a total of 1,401 meters
Jayden Resources 2010
- 18 holes, 2,801 meters
- Significant high-grade intercepts
- Extended mineralization 160 m to the north
Jayden Resources 2011
- 109 holes, 17,468 meters
- Drilling focused on filling gaps for resource calculations
- Additional confirmation of zones of very high-grade mineralization including highlights of 7.96 m of 25.24 g/t gold in hole SC11-361 and 18.48 m of 11.68 g/t gold in hole SC11-424

Mineralization
- Mineralization across
the property is contained within at least 10 different zones, most
significantly the Main Breccia Zone:
- 700 to 1000 meters long
- 100 to 300 meters wide
- Up to 100 meters in thickness
- Irregular sulfide lenses & masses
- Mineralization is structurally controlled, with strong phyllic wall rock alteration and silicification
- Additional zones yet to be explored
