TOMBSTONE EXPLORATION CORPORATION
On January 26, 2007, Tombstone Exploration Corporation, a Canadian Federal corporation (the “Company”), closed a transaction pursuant to which it acquired various Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) load claims (the “BLM Claims”). The Purchase Agreement is attached hereto.
The following is a summary of the claims set forth under the Purchase Agreement:
The Company has 318 BLM Claims that encompass the northeasterly mineralized trend from near Tombstone for about 3.5 miles westerly towards the San Pedro River. The Company is in the process of permitting the first phase of a drilling program that will test this trend of silver/gold mineralization. Deep drilling is planned to examine the potential for underlying base metal deposits including copper, lead, and zinc. This first phase drilling will test the strike and depth extensions of past producing mines and has the potential of discovering heretofore unknown “blind structures.” Later phases of drilling are planned to target new ore bodies and extensions of other past producing ore bodies along the 3.5 mile trend.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the Purchase Agreement and all Appendices thereto, and should be read in conjunction with the Agreement, which is filed or incorporated by reference in this report as an exhibit.
