Crestview Exploration Inc. announced a significant expansion of 64 additional unpatented lode mining claims to their claim position in the Tuscarora Mountains of Elko County, Nevada, infilling the gaps between the proximal Rock Creek, Falcon, and Divide properties and bringing the total land position between the three to 260 claims covering an approximate 2,009 hectares or 4,965 acres. The company added an additional forty-three claims to the Divide property, primarily expanding the position west closing most of the gap with Rock Creek. An additional twenty-one claims were staked at the Falcon property, primarily expanding to the north and covering all available ground between the Falcon and Rock Creek properties.

This land expansion represents a significant step toward consolidating the position, and puts the company in a strong position for making a large discovery. The material includes (presumed) ore shipments from the 1930's (when the mine was active), sampling of the historic workings in the 1960's and 1970's, and bulk assays from (presumed) prospect pits. Note to reader: most of this historic material lacks sufficient context to be interpreted with any level of confidence, and none of the data generated historically was 43-101 compliant as the data predates the practice.

Crestview plans to conduct its own sampling program(s) in the coming field season, the first phase of which is designed and ready to commence as soon as conditions permit. Among this material was a 1979 report outlining an in-depth sampling program within the historic workings of the Falcon mine. The sampling program was described as continuous chip and channel samples, and includes geological and location descriptions.

The results include twenty-four of the thirty-three samples measuring greater than 1 opt Ag, fifteen samples greater than 5 opt Ag, and six samples greater than 25 opt Ag. A number of the assay certificates include only brief descriptions, and do not include the sample weight, the collection method, or descriptions of any processing prior to shipment. While unclear what these certificates actually represent, the high grades reported in several are encouraging.

One such certificate describes being "taken from stope off of 65 ft. entrance of Falcon" which assayed 6,395.1 opt Ag (no other element included). Another certificate describes being "found on surface ­ approx.

200' below Falcon dump" which assayed 757.4 opt Ag (no other element included). Another certificate describes 5 "Falcon" samples with grades as high as 101.72 opt Ag and 0.11 opt Au; also describes a "Scorpion Dump" sample which assayed 35.9 opt Ag and 0.07 opt Au. Another certificate includes: a sample described as "Falcon Stope-ore" which assayed 69.88 opt Ag and 0.06 opt Au, a sample described as "Falcon porphyry" which assayed 3.24 opt Ag and 0.01 opt Au, a sample described as "Falcon dumps" which assayed 2.36 opt Ag and 0.04 opt Au, and a sample described as "Scorpion shaft" which assayed 12.6 opt Ag and 0.06 opt Au.

Another certificate describes 5 samples "taken in 65' level." which ranged from 2.5 opt Ag to 36 opt Ag. Another certificate from 1961 describes a "Falcon" sample which assayed 241.2 opt Ag and a "Scorpion" sample which assayed 2.4 opt Ag.
