This property consists of 37 unpatented lode claims within two blocks, 10 claims form the Long Canyon South block and 27 claims comprise the Long Canyon North block. The two blocks cover approximately 83.5 and 225.4 hectares respectively, located 200 kms southeast of Reno and 16 kms southeast of the community of Mina, Nevada. Preliminary rock sampling has returned gold values up to 1.7g/t over 3 m, and up to 9.7g/t gold and 529g/t silver in grab samples. The south block hosts an extensive siliceous zone containing strongly anomalous mercury (to 155,000ppm), antimony (to 987ppm) and arsenic (to 2790ppm) values. The north block covers a NNW trending swarm of branching, anastomosing rhyolite dikes and two types of associated mineralization, i.e, low sulfide quartz-adularia epithermal veining and bleached, highly altered breccia with abundant specular to botryoidal hematite, barite and phosphates in the matrix. The composite north block zone exhibits mineralogical and geochemical patterns traceable over a strike length of at least three miles that are suggestive of a distal IOCG-type environment.

The Long Canyon project is situated in southeastern Mineral County and is flanked by several well known historical mining districts. The Pilot Mountains to the north have a long history of mercury production, followed by tungsten mining along the eastern edge of the range. The former producing Belleville Mine 8 kms north of Long Canyon reportedly produced around 100,000 ozs to 1939 from two quartz veins.

To the west the Douglas Camp area was dominantly a gold and silver camp which also contained abundant scheelite and produced over $1,000,000 of tungsten during and after WW1.

To the southwest the Candelaria District was known for high grade silver deposits which averaged 60oz/ton in the early days of mining. By 1999 over 68 million ounces of silver had been extracted from the mines in this district.
