The Coal Canyon claims are located east of Lovelock in the West Humboldt Range of Pershing County in the gold rich state of Nevada . The property is southwest of Jipangu Inc.'s (formerly Apollo Gold) Florida Canyon Mine where over 1 million ounces of gold have been produced, and the Willard and Rochester gold deposits. Previous exploration has outlined a northwest trending 1200 by 250 metre soil and rock chip gold geochemical anomaly with values up to 3 gpt gold and associated anomalous values in arsenic, antimony and mercury. The zone is associated with a large coincident area of intense hydrothermal alteration with extensive jasperoid development in impure calcareous sediments intruded by felsic and mafic sills and dykes which appear to have been emplaced along thrust faults. A second parallel mineralized zone approximately 500 by 150 metres in size has been defined by recent mapping to the east of the main anomaly.

A well defined structural intersection zone is centred on the claim group. No drilling has ever been done on the property since it was first identified by modern exploration in 1994. Induced Polarization (IP) and Controlled Source Audio Magneto Telluric (CSAMT) surveys on the claims have recently been completed and the data is being processed and evaluated. When this is completed drilling will test any well defined targets generated from the geophysical data.
