1.   We Are Pouring Gold

Florida Canyon is continuing to show positive trends toward commercial production and we are on track for this milestone in the first quarter of 2018. We are pouring significant gold regularly! We purchased four gently-used trucks to begin our expansion and feed our very hungry crusher. It’s exciting to see how much progress we have made in just one year.

2.   Large Nevada Land Position

The Oreana trend is an approximately 30-mile long trend in western Nevada and we own the bulk of the ground. Our neighbors have smaller land positions and include Coeur Mining and Newmont. We have two NI 43-101 resource projects near the Florida Canyon mine along this gold/silver trend. Lincoln Hill, and Wilco will be our next projects to move forward. Plus Garden Gate Pass along the Cortez trend in Eastern Nevada and you can see why we love working and exploring in Nevada!

There are not many companies that have a large land position along a major Nevada gold trend with operating gold mines and a growth profile of a mid-tier gold mining company in such a great jurisdiction – Rye Patch is one of them!

3.   Highly Skilled Workforce

We have a great team! I know a lot of CEO’s say that but it’s really true. From our board of directors to the teams in Vancouver, Reno and at the Florida canyon mine, we have the best people in the business. Collectively, this group of men and women has worked at every major mining company in the world, and just about on every continent, and with university degrees from every mining program there is. The tenacity this team has shown in getting Rye Patch transformed from explorer to producer has been phenomenal, and it’s been my pleasure to be a part of it.

It’s been ten years since we first publicly launched Rye Patch and I couldn’t be any more excited about our progress and what 2018 holds in store. Thank you for your continued shareholder support! It’s been great to meet so many of you at conferences around the US and Canada.
