Not only does the Project have an excellent mineral resource, it also has so many other positives, including a collaborative business and government community in Lyon County, Mason Valley and City of Yerington with a rich mining history. Pumpkin Hollow is also located in Nevada, where we are dealing with an experienced, mature and stable regulatory environment. The local community is poised with human resources capacity, public services, educational, business, commercial and housing resources and other well-established infrastructure needed for a major mine.
