Property Acquisition

The Pender claims are located in a district prospective for copper, gold and moly and adjoin Garibaldi’s Tonichi south concessions along its northwest flank, approximately 4 kms south east of the Cuatro Hermanos copper/moly deposit (900 million lbs Cu indicated/2.1 billion lbs. Cu inferred (as published by Virgin Metals Inc. on its web site)) bordered by Garibaldi’s concessions which surround it.
