twelve months after closing, $2,000,000 subject to acceleration of payment if the mine is in commercial production; and
thirty months after closing, $1,675,000 subject to acceleration of payment if the mine is in commercial production

Western Pacific’s President, Eric Saderholm, said:

In addition to the known polymetallic deposits (mineralization occurs in oxide and sulphidic ore), there are numerous other potential targets at Deer Trail, including Moly-Porphyry targets and gold-rich veins and skarns. This mining district is vastly under-drilled and under-explored which provides significant upside potential for discovery by Western Pacific.
