by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized. White Knight Resources Ltd. Additional Land Acquired in Gold Bar District
of Cortez Trend Vancouver, British Columbia – White Knight Resources
Ltd. (TSX – WKR) White Knight Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that the Company, through its 100% owned subsidiaries White
Knight Gold (U.S.), Inc. and Quito Gold Corp., has staked an additional 127
unpatented mining claims in the Cortez Trend. The claims are extensions to the
Company’s South Cabin Creek, Gold Pick, Goldstone, Benmark, and Cottonwood
properties in the Gold Bar Mining District, in the southern Roberts Mountains,
Eureka County, Nevada. The claims are 100% owned by the Company. South Cabin Creek: Fifty-four claims were located
over gold/arsenic/mercury anomalies extending for 1½ miles along the
southern extension of the mineralized fault system which passes through the
Company’s South Cabin Creek property. This area has seen little previous
drilling and will be the focus of a mapping and sampling program later this
summer. Gold Pick/Goldstone/Benmark: An additional 53
claims were staked to cover potential extensions of gold mineralization along
the controlling structures projecting from the Gold Pick and Goldstone deposits.
These new claims now make the three projects one contiguous block. A drilling
program consisting of approximately 7000 ft of reverse-circulation drilling
is planned to test several targets later this summer. Cottonwood: Twenty claims were located along
the hanging-wall of the mineralized Wall fault and along a NNW-trending anticline
in the lower-plate carbonates. The window-bounding Wall fault and the subparallel
anticline have striking structural similarities to the Post fault and the Tuscarora
anticline, which are major ore controls in the northern Carlin Trend. The Company
plans a 10,000-ft reverse-circulation drilling program for late this summer
into the fall. The addition of these new claims solidifies the Company’s
extensive land position in the Gold Bar District, which now comprises 1,334
unpatented mining claims and 8 patented mining claims totaling over 27,000 acres
of mineral rights. On behalf of the Board of Directors, “John M. Leask” John M. Leask, P.Eng. For more information please visit our website at www.whiteknightres.com

Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
1.0 SUMMARY
The Cottonwood property of White Knight Resources Ltd. (“White Knight”) is a sediment-hosted (“Carlin-type”) gold exploration project located in the Gold Bar mining district within the southern Battle Mountain-Eureka mineral belt in Eureka County, Nevada (Figure 1). The Gold Bar district produced slightly less than 500,000 oz gold from five Carlin-type gold deposits (Gold Bar, Gold Stone, Gold Pick, Gold Ridge, and Gold Canyon). The Cottonwood property consists of 74 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 1502 acres of mineral rights. The project area lies about five miles northeast of the mined-out Gold Bar mine and less than one-half mile west of the idle Gold Canyon mine.
The Cottonwood claim block is located along the western edge of the Roberts Mountains window and follows a major window-bounding fault, the Wall fault. The property was explored by a number of companies between 1980 through 1996. This historical exploration consisted of geologic mapping, rock-chip and soil sampling, and drilling. The drilling led to the discovery of sediment-hosted disseminated gold mineralization at three locations on the property: Pot Canyon, French Trail/South French Trail, and Wall. Each of these mineralized zones is incompletely drilled and potential exists to discover additional gold mineralization along strike and down-dip of the known mineralization, as well as in favorable structural/stratigraphic settings away from the drilled mineralized zones.
The Cottonwood property is a property of merit and additional exploration is warranted. An exploration and drilling program budgeted at US$299,250 is proposed for the 2005 field season.

Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
4.1 Area and Location
The Cottonwood property is located in Eureka County, Nevada, approximately 30 air miles northwest of the town of Eureka (Figure 1). The property lies in sections 4-5, 8-9, and 16, T22N, R50E MDB&M. The center of the property is located approximately at 39o 47’ North Latitude, 116o 22’ West Longitude.
4.2 Claims and Title
The Cottonwood property consists of five groups of unpatented lode mining claims totaling 74 contiguous claims that cover approximately 1502 acres (Figure 2, Table 1), located on lands managed by the U. S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). White Knight located 44 “Gin” and eight “Toast” claims in 2001, four “Jake” claims in 2002, and eight more Gin claims plus four “VSG” claims in 2004. White Knight owns an undivided 100% interest in the aforementioned claims. An additional six “Jam” claims, lying between the Toast and Jake blocks were added to the property through a lease agreement with the owner, Gregory McN. French. The claims have not been legally surveyed. A complete listing of claims comprising the property is presented in Appendix A.
Some overlap exists between the northwest corner of the Toast claim group (Toast #6 and #7) and the southern Gin claims (Gin #50). Portions of the Toast and Jam claims are overlapped by “Ben” claims staked by White Knight in 2004. The Toast and Jam claims are senior claims and the overlapping portions of the Ben claims are not valid. The Gin #52 claim on the east edge of the Gin claims partially overlaps the “WI” claims of Bonanza, which are senior. The overlapping portion of the Gin #52 claim is not valid. The Jake claims, located in April, 2002, are partially overlapped by a group of “Rut” claims staked by Arc Geosciences in June, 2002. The Jake claims are senior to the Rut claims and are valid in their entirety.
Annual maintenance fees for 2005 have been made and all the claims are in good standing with the Bureau of Land Management and Eureka County.

4.3 Property Payments, Obligations, and Agreements
In February, 2002, White Knight entered into a Mining Lease Agreement with Gregory McN. French on six “Jam” claims (Jam 72-74, 85-86). The terms of the agreement require White Knight to pay an initial lease payment of $1,000, successive annual lease payments totaling $8,000 and 80,000 common shares of the Company over the following four-year period, then $5,000 per year thereafter. The claims are subject to an underlying Net Smelter Return of 4% payable to Nerco on the sale of gold on production greater than 50,000 oz and less than 150,000 oz. On gold production less than 50,001 oz and greater than 150,000 oz, the Lessor retains a Net Smelter Return with the royalty ranging between 1% for gold prices under $350/oz to 2% for a gold price of $500 or higher. White Knight also has the option to purchase the claims and royalty for $50,000.
Annual maintenance fees of $100/claim are payable to the BLM by September 1 of each year. A Notice of Intent to Hold the claims must be filed with the Eureka County Recorder along with recording fees of $8.50/claim by November 1 of each year.
4.4 Environmental/Cultural Liabilities
There are no known environmental or cultural liabilities on the Cottonwood property.
4.5 Permitting
Unpatented mining claims at Cottonwood are located on lands administered by the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Battle Mountain Field Office under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA).
Prior exploration drilling activities on the Cottonwood property were conducted under several Notices of Intent with the BLM filed by previous operators (Atlas, Barrick, Chevron, Cordex, Phelps Dodge, ACNC). All previous Notices of Intent have been closed by the BLM. Future exploration disturbance will require filing of a new Notice of Intent and posting of a reclamation bond with the Nevada State Office of the BLM.
5.0 ACCESS, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE & PHYSIOGRAPHY
5.1 Access
The Cottonwood property is accessed from the town of Eureka, Nevada by traveling west on U.S. Highway 50 for about 26 miles to the junction with the Three Bar road then 17 miles north on the graded Three Bar road to a two-track road which leads up Cottonwood Creek. The north part of the property lies approximately seven miles up the canyon.

Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
5.2 Local Resources and Infrastructure
The center of the property is located about five miles northeast of the inactive Gold Bar mine. Water designated for mining purposes is available at the mine site. Accommodations and most common supplies are available in the town of Eureka, about 50 miles by road to the southeast.
5.3 Physiography and Climate
The Cottonwood property lies within the southwestern part of the Roberts Mountains. The area is characterized by steep northwest-trending ridges dissected by deeply incised drainages. Topographic relief is moderate with elevations ranging from 7100 feet in Rutabaga Creek to 8600 feet in the northeast corner of the claim block.
The climate of the Roberts Mountains is typical of higher elevations in north-central Nevada. The area receives about 15 inches of precipitation per year, much of it in the form of snow between the months of November and March and as summer thunderstorms. Temperatures are moderate with daily highs in the summer months ranging from 65o F to 85o F. Summer nights are cool, dropping to between 40o and 50o F. Winter nights can drop to well below zero, but daytime highs usually are near or above freezing. Winter snow-pack can be several feet in the higher parts of the property and exploration is traditionally curtailed during the winter months. Vegetation consists mostly of pinion-juniper forest with some open areas of sagebrush, rabbit brush and grasses.
The current land position controlled by White Knight is adequate for exploration purposes. Relatively flat areas in the northern part of the claim block are present for potential processing plants, mine dumps, leach pads, etc.
6.0 HISTORY
The Cottonwood area has a long history of prospecting. The Blue Eagle mine or Villanueva property (Lawrence, 1963), a small antimony deposit lying about one-half mile northwest of the property, was discovered in 1937. The area was heavily prospected for barite in the 1970’s; and in 1980 N.L. Baroid located claims for barite in the central part of the property. During the 1980’s the area was explored for gold by N.L. Baroid, Chevron, Nerco, ACNC, and Phelps Dodge. Chevron staked the “Chev” property in the central and southern part of the area in 1980. Chevron dropped the ground in 1983 and Nerco relocated the claims. In 1985, ACNC acquired the Nerco claims under a joint-venture agreement (Shalosky, 1987). N.L. Baroid discovered the Pot Canyon gold deposit in 1985. Phelps Dodge leased N L. Baroid’s claims, and in 1987 drilled the discovery hole in the Gold Canyon deposit to the east of the Cottonwood property (Crawford, 1988).

Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
Atlas acquired the Nerco and Phelps Dodge land positions in 1990 and 1991, respectively. Atlas drilled out the Gold Canyon and Pot Canyon deposits from 1990 through 1993 and discovered the French Trail and South French Trail mineralization in 1993.
Cordex joint-ventured the north part of the project area (Gin claims) with Atlas in 1995 and drilled three holes in the area after conducting geological mapping, soil sampling, and CSAMT surveys. Barrick joint-ventured the south part of the area in 1997 and drilled three deep holes on the property. After Barrick terminated its lease, Vengold (Bonanza) leased the claims from Atlas. Bonanza reduced its claim holdings in the area to a small group of claims covering the Gold Canyon deposit in 2001. White Knight located claims to the west and south of Bonanza’s block in September and October of 2001, and added to the claim block in 2002 and 2004. In 2002, White Knight purchased an extensive exploration data base covering the Cottonwood project and adjacent areas from Atlas Corporation.
To the knowledge of White Knight’s management there has been no previous production from the property.
7.0 GEOLOGICAL SETTING
7.1 Regional Geology
The Cottonwood property lies within the southern part of the Battle Mountain – Eureka mineral belt, a northwest-trending alignment of mineral deposits, intrusive stocks and dikes, and windows of lower-plate carbonate rocks (Roberts, 1960). The property lies about five miles northeast of the Gold Bar mine and eight miles southeast of the Tonkin Springs gold mine. (Figure 1).
The general geology of the southern Roberts Mountains consists of a large northwest-trending block of Devonian to Silurian shallow-water carbonate rocks surrounded by Ordovician to Mississippian deep-water clastic rocks (Figure 3). The block of carbonate rocks comprises the Roberts Mountains window, an uplifted erosional window through the Roberts Mountains thrust fault. The thrust separates allochthonous deep-water clastic rocks lying in the upper-plate of the thrust from autochthonous carbonate rocks lying within the lower-plate window. The upper-plate rocks consist dominantly of Ordovician Vinini Formation, with lesser Mississippian Webb Formation and possibly some Devonian Woodruff Formation. These three formations are lithologically very similar and are difficult to differentiate without fossil age dates. Carbonate units in the lower plate consist of the Silurian Lone Mountain Formation overlaid by the Devonian McColley Canyon Formation, Denay Limestone, and Devils Gate Formation. Along the east side of the range, the Denay Limestone becomes progressively more dolomitic and undergoes a facies change to the Bay State Dolomite.
A series of prominent northwest-trending high-angle faults cuts the range. A set of less prominent northeast-trending faults crosscuts the northwest-trending faults. The northern Nevada rift passes along the east edge of the southern Roberts Mountains. The rift zone is manifest by a swarm of mid-Miocene basalt dikes and related extrusive rocks.

7.2 Cottonwood Property Geology
The Cottonwood property lies along the western edge of the Roberts Mountains window. The claims are oriented to follow the western window-bounding fault, and contain both upper-plate siliciclastic and lower-plate carbonate units.
7.2.1 Stratigraphy
The stratigraphy of the Cottonwood area is grouped according to tectonic setting into allochthonous upper-plate units and autochthonous lower-plate units.
7.2.1.1 Upper-plate units. The upper-plate of the Roberts Mountains thrust at Cottonwood is dominated by the Ordovician Vinini Formation. The Vinini section consists of chert, argillite, siltstone, shale, quartzite, limestone and greenstone. These rocks are generally tightly folded and broken by numerous small-scale faults, shears and internal thrusts. Chapman (1996) mapped slivers of Devonian Woodruff Formation and Mississippian Webb Formation beneath the Vinini Formation in the northern part of the Cottonwood project area. The Woodruff is described as siliceous shales interbedded with black cherty argillite and massive limestone beds. The Webb Formation consists of gritty mudstone and siliceous shale (Eastwood, 1996). Given the similarity of these units to parts of the Vinini Formation, it is very difficult to differentiate the three formations without fossil age dates. Therefore, the upper-plate units are lumped as Vinini Formation on the geologic map of Figure 4.
7.2.1.2 Lower-plate carbonates: Silurian to Devonian carbonate rocks in the lower-plate of the Roberts Mountains thrust fault are exposed in the Roberts Mountains window, east of the window-bounding fault. At Cottonwood, only the upper part of the section consisting of the Devonian Denay Limestone and Devils Gate Formation, is exposed.
The Denay Limestone has been broken into four mappable units by Atlas geologists: the lower Denay and three units of the upper Denay. The lower Denay consists of thin- to medium-bedded mudstones and wackestones. The overlying Unit 1 of the Upper Denay consists of medium- to thick-bedded dolomitic grainstones with a basal rudstone. Unit 2 of the Upper Denay consists of thin-bedded, laminated, nonfossiliferous packstone. Unit 2 is the ore host at the Gold Bar and Gold Stone mines and for the Pot Canyon and French Trail mineralization. Unit 3 at the top of the Denay contains interbedded medium- to thick-bedded grainstones and fossiliferous rudstones.
Overlying the Denay Limestone is the Devonian Devils Gate Formation. The Devils Gate comprises massive cliff-forming bindstones, framestones and floatstones. The Devils Gate is a fossiliferous reef-facies limestone characterized by abundant stomatoporoids, including the “spaghetti-rock”, Amphipora.

Lower-plate stratigraphy for the southern Roberts Mountains area is graphically depicted on the stratigraphic column of Figure 5.
7.2.2 Structure
The Cottonwood claim block follows a major northwest-trending high-angle window-bounding fault, the “Wall fault” (Yigit, 2003). This fault juxtaposes a thick section of Vinini Formation on the west from Devonian carbonates on the east side of the fault, and forms the western structural boundary of the Roberts Mountains window. The fault zone is locally characterized by massive cliff-forming jasperoid bodies.
A series of northwest-trending faults, parallel to the Wall fault but with less vertical throw, cut the carbonate section east of the Wall fault. Less pronounced northeast-trending faults cut the lower-plate carbonate units, producing a series of tilted fault blocks bounded by northeast- and northwest-trending high-angle faults.
Two large folds affect the lower-plate rocks on the Cottonwood property. A broad west-northwest-trending antiform extends across the range from Cabin Creek to Pot Canyon. The Cabin Creek, Gold Pick, Gold Ridge, Gold Canyon and Pot Canyon gold deposits are all localized along the crest of the antiform. A smaller northwest-trending antiform is developed in the lower-plate carbonate rocks east of the Wall fault. This antiform is parallel to the Wall fault and may be a drag feature.
7.2.3 Alteration
Exposed alteration at Cottonwood is dominated by silicification in the form of jasperoidal replacement of both lower-plate carbonate rocks and of upper-plate siliciclastic rocks. Jasperoids at Cottonwood are categorized as structural jasperoids, which are restricted to fault zones and are characterized by intense brecciation, or as stratiform jasperoids, which are passive bedding-plane replacement bodies with little brecciation. Large jasperoids developed in upper-plate rocks outboard from the Wall fault in the northern part of the claim block are dominantly stratiform jasperoids. Smaller stratiform jasperoids occur along the contact between Units 1 and 2 of the Upper Denay Limestone. Jasperoids at Pot Canyon and along northeast-trending cross-faults tend to be structural in nature.
The second most common form of exposed alteration consists of calcite veining. Veins and pods of coarse white calcite are localized along structures peripheral to and above gold deposits in the Roberts Mountains. Calcium is believed to be mobilized during ore-stage related decalcification and reprecipiated as calcite in open spaces outboard from the deposits.
Decalcification is the main alteration associated with Carlin-type gold deposits in the Roberts Mountains. However, decalcification produces a soft, nonresistant rock which does not crop out naturally. Decalcified Denay Limestone is locally exposed in roadcuts at the Pot Canyon deposit.

8.0 DEPOSIT TYPES
Mineralization encountered to date at Cottonwood is sediment-hosted or Carlin-type gold mineralization. Gold mineralization at Pot Canyon, French Trail and South French Trail is hosted in Unit 2 of the Upper Denay Limestone. Gold mineralization at the Wall prospect is hosted in the Vinini Formation within the Wall fault zone. The gold mineralization is finely disseminated submicron-size gold. Gold is associated with decalcification and minor silicification; and is accompanied by highly anomalous concentrations of arsenic, mercury, antimony, and barium. This alteration suite and geochemical signature are typical of Carlin-type gold deposits within the Carlin Trend (Thompson, et al., 2002).
9.0 MINERALIZATION
9.1 Rock-chip and soil geochemistry
Numerous gold anomalies have been obtained from rock-chip and soil samples collected by previous operators (ACNC, Cordex, Phelps Dodge, Atlas). The Wall and Pot Canyon mineralized zones are well defined by anomalous (>10 ppb) gold-in-soil values (Figure 6). Scattered rock-chip gold anomalies are common along the Wall fault and also occur along some northeast cross-structures. The jasperoid at the Wall prospect in the southern part of the claim block returned values from 30 to 1700 ppb gold, with values exceeding 100 ppb gold being common over a wide area. The jasperoid is also highly anomalous in barite and antimony (Koehn, 1982). The discovery jasperoid at the Pot Canyon deposit assayed from 95 as 760 ppb gold in outcrop. Decalcified Denay Limestone in roadcuts assayed 10 to 660 ppb gold. Strongly anomalous mercury, arsenic, and antimony accompany the gold anomalies.
9.2 Drilled mineralization
Three separate areas of gold mineralization have been drilled on the Cottonwood property. The most significant drilled mineralization is at Pot Canyon, where two pods of gold mineralization were drilled by Phelps Dodge and Atlas. The two mineralized pods each have a north-south elongation, but are aligned in a west-northwesterly direction (Figure 7). The gold mineralization is hosted in the upper Denay Limestone (Figure 8) and is associated with decalcification and silicification of the host unit. Further south, at the Wall prospect, two zones of mineralization have been drilled. This mineralization is hosted within the Wall fault and is aligned in a northwest direction. There is little drilling in the area, and the mineralization may be continuous between the two zones. In the northeast part of the claim block, Atlas defined the French Trail and South French Trail mineralized zones. These small pods of gold mineralization are aligned in a northeast direction, with no drilling between the pods.
Significant drill intercepts in each of the mineralized zones are tabulated in Table 2. Reported intercepts are drilled intercepts and may or may not be representative of true thicknesses. Holes drilled at Pot Canyon, French Trail, and South French Trail are vertical holes designed to test subhorizontal tabular mineralization and intercepts are believed to approximate true thickness. Holes drilled at Wall are a combination of vertical and angled holes. Drilled intercepts may be
14
Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
greater than true thickness by as much as 40%, assuming that the mineralized body is subhorizontal.

10.0 SURFACE EXPLORATION
White Knight has not yet conducted any exploration work on the Cottonwood property. The Company purchased a data base from Atlas in 2002, which contains partial results from previous exploration conducted on the property.
Early surface exploration in the area by Chevron (1981), Nerco (1983-1985, 1988-1989), ACNC (1985-1987), N. L. Baroid (1980-1986) and Phelps Dodge (1987-1990) focused on geological mapping and geochemical sampling of rocks and soils. N.L. Baroid sampled rocks and soils and conducted reconnaissance geologic mapping targeting both barite and gold deposits. ACNC conducted soil sampling, trenching, and rock sampling (Shalosky, 1988). Phelps Dodge conducted geological mapping and rock-chip sampling. These programs discovered the outcropping Pot Canyon and Wall mineralized zones. Atlas followed up with additional detailed geologic mapping and geochemical mapping. Cordex collected soil samples on a 100 ft x 500 ft grid over the northern part of the claim block (Gin claims) in 1995. Cordex also contracted Zonge Geosciences, Inc. to conduct CSAMT surveys to the north and west of the Cottonwood property. Part of one CSAMT line lies on the Gin claims. The CSAMT survey located a shallow resistor interpreted to be dense lower-plate limestone beneath upper-plate cherts and shales.
11.0 DRILLING
White Knight has not yet conducted any drilling on the Cottonwood property.
A total of 108 reverse-circulation drill holes, aggregating 44,118 feet of drilling, has been drilled on the property by previous operators. Table 3 summarizes the drilling activities by company.
| TABLE 3. Drilling Activities | |||
| Company | Year(s) | Number of Holes | Total Footage |
| ACNC | 1986-1987 | 6 | 1,813 |

White Knight purchased a data base of drill logs and assays from Atlas in 2002 and has copies of drill logs and/or summary logs and assays for all drill holes. Results of the drilling are discussed in section 9.2, “Drilled Mineralizaton”.
19
Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
Available records indicate that all drilling was conducted using reputable drill contractors under supervision of experienced geologists, and was performed to industry standards.
12.0 SAMPLE METHOD AND APPROACH
12.1 Rock-Chip and Soil Sampling
White Knight has not yet collected any rock-chip or soil samples from the Cottonwood property.
The author has not completed independent sampling. To his knowledge, the previous sampling performed by Chevron, N. L. Baroid, ACNC, Phelps Dodge, and Atlas was performed to industry standards at the time by well-respected professionals. There is no reason to suspect any irregularities in the data, or to question the results on the historical sampling. The results of these surveys are, therefore, considered reliable. Soil samples collected by Cordex were undersized and taken from the surficial or A soil layer (G. French, personal communication), rather than from the B or C soil horizon, as is industry standard. The affect of this substandard sampling procedure would be to produce lower-than-normal gold anomalies.
12.2 Drill Samples
White Knight has not conducted any drilling on the Cottonwood property and has not collected any drill samples.
Based on the author’s knowledge of the professionalism of the companies which conducted historic drilling programs on the property (Chevron, ACNC, Phelps Dodge, Atlas, Nerco, Cordex and Barrick), all companies employed reliable drill contractors and used industry standards for drill sample collection. Drill samples are believed to have been of good quality and to be representative of drilled intervals. The results of the drilling programs are, therefore, considered reliable. Cordex, however, assayed only every fourth drill sample (one five-foot interval per 20 feet of drilling). The affect of this sampling irregularity would be to potentially miss thin (15 feet or less) intervals of mineralization.
13.0 SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND QUALITY CONTROL
White Knight has not analyzed any geochemical samples from the Cottonwood property.
All historic soil, rock-chip and drill samples collected from the project were sent to reputable laboratories (Bondar Clegg, Chemex, Skyline Labs) for sample preparation and analysis. Samples were analyzed for gold and silver using standard fire-assay techniques with an atomic-absorption (AA) finish.
White Knight does not have any records of quality control methods used by previous companies. However, all of the laboratories employed routinely insert standards and blanks for internal quality control. Sampling and drilling results appear to be consistent form company to company. Also, Atlas performed check-assays on pulps from Phelps Dodge’s drill samples and found good
20
Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
repeatability of assays. There is no reason to believe that any samples were tampered with or otherwise compromised in any of the drilling or sampling programs.
14.0 DATA VERIFICATION
The author has personal familiarity with both the regional and property geology. The validity of the various interpretations is discussed in the appropriate sections of the report. The author is confident that the historical sampling data, collected by well-respected mining companies, is reliable; and the author has not conducted independent sampling.
15.0 ADJACENT PROPERTIES
The Cottonwood property lies in the Gold Bar District within the southern Battle Mountain-Eureka mineral belt. Previous exploration in the Gold Bar District discovered historic resources totaling 1,639,000 oz gold (French, et al., 1996). The historic resource base was calculated by Atlas prior to implementation of National Instrument 43-101. The Company has not independently verified the estimate according to CIM standards. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a National Instrument 43-101-defined resource; and the estimate should not be relied upon as such. The district has produced 485,200 oz gold from five separate deposits: Gold Bar, Gold Pick, Gold Ridge, Goldstone, and Gold Canyon (Atlas Corp., 1999). Bonanza’s Gold Bar mine lies about five miles to the southwest of Cottonwood. The Cottonwood property borders Bonanza’s claims containing the Gold Canyon mine, which lies less than one-half mile to the east of the Gin claims. White Knight’s Benmark and Vermouth properties border the Cottonwood property on the southeast and north, respectively. The Tonkin Springs deposits of the Tonkin Springs Joint Venture deposits lie about eight miles to the northwest of the central Cottonwood area.
The proximity of the Cottonwood property to these deposits, and the similarities of the property geology to the geologic setting of the deposits do not, in and of themselves, indicate that the Cottonwood property should be similarly mineralized.
16.0 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
No metallurgical testing has been performed on mineralized material from the Cottonwood property.
17.0 MINERAL RESOURCE AND MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATES
Atlas calculated an historical inferred resource of 1.157 million tons grading .024 opt gold (27,850 oz gold) for the Pot Canyon mineralization in 1994 (Atlas Corp., 1999). The resource estimate was a hand-generated polygonal estimate, based on 37 drill holes (24 mineralized holes). This work was completed prior to implementation of National Instrument 43-101. Although this historical resource estimate was made by sources believed to be reliable, the
21
Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
Company has not yet independently verified the estimate according to CIM standards. Therefore, the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a National Instrument 43-101-defined resource; and the estimate should not be relied upon as such. No resource estimates have been made for the French Trail, South French Trail, and Wall mineralized zones.
18.0 INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
Gold deposits discovered to date in the Gold Bar district are relatively small (<250,000 oz gold), with Gold Bar (375,000 oz gold pre-mining resource [Cope and Arbonies, 1998]) being the largest deposit. Nearly all other Carlin-type gold districts contain a number of fairly small “satellite” gold deposits peripheral to one or more large (> 1 million oz) gold deposits. The stratigraphy, structure, and alteration styles in the Cottonwood area are comparable to those of districts containing large Carlin-type deposits elsewhere in the Battle Mountain-Eureka mineral belt and the Carlin Trend. White Knight is of the belief that all the gold deposits discovered to date in the Roberts Mountains are satellite deposits to an as-yet-undiscovered large Carlin-type deposit.
A number of partially explored gold-bearing prospects (French Trail, South French Trail, Wall, Benmark), on the Cottonwood property have potential to develop into significant deposits. The northern part of the project area (Gin claims) contains a partially drilled-out small Carlin-type disseminated gold deposit (Pot Canyon) which lies less than one-half mile west of the Gold Canyon mine. The Pot Canyon mineralization lies along the west-north-trending antiform which controls gold mineralization at the Gold Canyon, Gold Ridge, Gold Pick, and Cabin Creek deposits. Gold mineralization at Pot Canyon is open to the north and northwest; and the deposit could be much larger. Mineralization occurs within the upper Denay Limestone, which lies above the McColley Canyon Formation, ore host at the Gold Pick and Gold Stone mines. All drilling at Pot Canyon has been shallow and the McColley Canyon Formation has not been tested. A much larger gold deposit could be hosted at depth in the favorable Bartine member of the McColley Canyon Formation.
The Gin claims also contain the French Trail and South French Trail pods of gold mineralization. These small zones of mineralization have been inadequately drill-tested. The South French Trail mineralization is open to the north. There is no drilling in the intervening 750 feet between the French Trail and South French Trail pods; and the two zones may be continuous and much larger.
The central and southern parts of the project area (Toast, Jam, Jake claims) contain the Wall fault, a major window-bounding fault. Bold jasperoid outcrops at the Wall prospect are mineralized with gold, arsenic, antimony, and mercury. Wide-spaced drilling (22 holes along 4.5 miles of strike length) has discovered two areas of gold mineralization, which remain open along strike and at depth. The hanging-wall of the fault, consisting of favorable carbonate host rocks, has been penetrated by only eight drill holes. There is only one drill hole in the 1600 feet of strike length between the south end of the northern mineralized zone and hole BGB-19, which
22
Cottonwood Project Technical Report
May 2005
contained 30 ft @ 0.048 opt gold. Mineralization is also open south of hole BGB-19. The hanging-wall of the Wall fault and the north-northwest-trending anticline east of the fault are analogous to the Post and Gen faults and the subparallel Post and Tuscarora anticlines, respectively, on the Carlin trend, which are the primary structural controls for the Meikle, Goldbug, Post/Betze (Goldstrike) and Blue Star/Genesis deposits. The Wall fault and the anticline to the east are, therefore, considered to be highly favorable loci for the discovery of large sediment-hosted gold deposits.
19.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Further exploration of the Cottonwood property is warranted. A drilling program is recommended to test extensions of the Pot Canyon, French Trail, and Wall mineralized zones and to test for deep mineralization beneath the Pot Canyon zone. A drilling program of 20 reverse-circulation holes totaling 9200 feet of drilling is recommended during 2005. The drilling program will be preceded by a program of geologic mapping and rock-chip geochemical sampling. Cost of the exploration program is estimated at US$299,250. Breakdown of the budget is as follows:
| Geological mapping, compilation, report writing, rock-chip sampling | |
| (50 days @ US$400/day plus field expenses) | US$21,600 |
| Geochemical Assays (rock-chip samples) | |
| (40 samples @ US$30.00) | US$1,200 |
| Drilling | |
| (9200 ft @ US$19.00/ft, + supplies) | US$192,500 |
| Drill assays | |
| (9200 ft @ 3.50/ft) | US$32,200 |
| Drill rig geologist | |
| (40 days @ US$400/day + expenses) | US$19,750 |
| Road and drill pad construction | US$12,000 |
| Reclamation & permitting | US$19,000 |
| Total Exploration Cost | US$299,250 |
