Exploration - 2012:  This summer, Alaska Metals plans to spend from $600,000 to $900,000 on program exploration expenditures, which includes more MMI sampling, an IP Survey, and a core drill program comprised of 4,000 to 6,000 feet of diamond core drilling of 6 to10 targets.

About the Bear Claims:  Placer gold mining in the Circle Mining District area has been continuous since 1893 and it is estimated that one million ounces of gold have been recovered to date. Placer mining remains active in all of the drainages that surround the Bear Claims, in particular, Miller Creek to the southeast, Mammoth Creek to the east, Porcupine Creek to the north and Bonanza Creek to the west.

Exploration work conducted to date by Alaska Metals includes the re-interpretation of historical airborne magnetic and resistivity survey data, soil sampling, MMI sampling, and confirmation geological mapping.
