Chief Properties

Golden Arrow

Located high in the Nevada desert, the project covers 5,684 acres along the Walker Lane structural Belt, an area known for prolific gold and silver mineralization. The project consists of 279 unpatented mining claims surrounding 17 wholly-owned patented mining claims.

Golden Arrow was first discovered in 1905, and was mined through the 1930s. The property was explored by a number of companies since then, resulting in over 400 drill holes that exceed 150,000 feet.  Nevada Sunrise LLC acquired the property in 2002.

On March 30, 2010 the Company granted an option to Animas Resources Ltd. on the Golden Arrow property for up to 60% interest for $7.5 million in exploration work. Animas must spend $1.0 million by the end of 2010 and $3.5 million in exploration over the next 3 years to earn 51% interest and will then be granted a one-time option to earn an up to 60% of the project through the expenditure of an additional $4.0 million.

The Company has access to a vast amount of historical data on the property, which includes all of the core and most of the drill cuttings from past exploration drilling – and includes tons of duplicate drill samples and assay pulps. Nevada Sunrise has compiled nearly all of this within a Geographic Information System for three-dimensional visualization and interpretation.
In 2009, Nevada Sunrise hired Mine Development Associates of Reno Nevada to complete a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Golden Arrow property.

The Golden Arrow resource updated April 1, 2009 is quoted at a variable cut-off
grade of 0.34 grams per ton (opt)  gold for oxide material and 0.51 grams per ton
gold for non-oxidized material and consists of:

• A measured and indicated resource of 296,500 ounces of gold at an average
grade of 0.89 gpt Au and 4,008,000 ounces silver at an average grade of 11.356
gpt Ag (12,172,000 tons).

• An additional inferred resource of 50,400 ounces gold at an average grade of
0.46 gpt Au and 1,249,000 ounces silver at an average grade of 11.314 gpt Ag
(3,790,000 tons).

Kinsley Mountain

Located in eastern Nevada, the Kinsley Mountain property consists of 141 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 2,807 acres. The property was previously mined by Alta Gold, who drilled over 1,156 holes at a total length of 244,900 feet, and produced approximately 135,000 oz of gold. Nevada Sunrise LLC acquired the property in 2000.

Mining by Alta Gold was restricted to a cluster of deposits aligned along a northwest-oriented fault zone.  Exploration drilling has identified several other mineralized centers, which are yet to be developed. Nevada Sunrise believes that there is significant resource in deeper material that was not fully tested by Alta.

On March 30, 2010 the Company entered into a joint venture deal with Animas Resources Ltd. on the Kinsley Mountain project, whereby they can earn up to 65% interest for 4.5 million in exploration work.  Animas must spend $200,000 by the end of 2010 and $1.5 million in exploration over the next 3 years to earn 51% interest.  Upon earning initial interest Animas will be granted a one-time option to spend a further $3 million in expenditures to earn a total interest of 65%.

Management

In the early 1990’s Bill began acquiring and developing precious metals mining properties.  He assembled a portfolio of high potential mining properties located throughout Nevada.  During 2001 and 2002 Bill added Golden Arrow, Juniper and Kinsley Mountain to his portfolio and significantly increased the Iron Point property.
Prior to his career in the mining industry, Bill spent 18 years in the semiconductor industry working for Texas Instruments (Texas), Motorola (Arizona) and TRW (California).  He received his BS Chemistry degree in 1964 from North Texas State University (now The University of North Texas), in Denton, Texas.
