The Crescent Mine has excellent potential to host a high-grade world-class silver ore body. A number of significant factors create a remarkably bright out look for the Crescent. These include:

Location, the Crescent is literally located between two of America's most prominent mines the Sunshine and Bunker Hill, with combined silver production of over 400 million ounces. Geology, the property is underlain by the most favorable conditions in the Coeur d' Alene district to yield ore discoveries. A combination of structures and favorable lithology at the contact of the St. Regis and Revett formations indicate potential for high-grade ore occurrences in portions of the mine that are still relatively unexplored and developed. The majority of ores in the Silver Belt occur in similar areas.

Near term mining potential, with the existence of significant mining, milling and processing infrastructure located nearby and known ore occurrences in the upper workings, profitable mining opportunities can be accomplished relatively quickly at the same time more reserves are being developed. Several veins and stopes still had good ore present prior to the cease of operations in the upper Crescent in 1940. The Alhambra vein was developed in the Taylor Stope for 60 ft. along strike, it ranges from one to a few feet in width and assays between 16 to 64 ounces per ton silver it is open both on strike and at depth. The Gray Copper vein was stoped at strike with the vein being between four and five feet of width and averaged 113 ounces per silver across a one-foot width. The vein is significantly un mined. Mine maps also show a five foot wide vein averaging 18 ounces across 5 feet in the Big Creek tunnel and an area 50 ft. long and 5 ft. wide averaging 112 ounces per ton. These are just a few examples of a number of targets for exploration and mining in the upper Crescent Mine.

High Grade ore bodies. The Crescent Mine was historically the highest-grade producer in the Silver Belt. While the average grade of Crescent historical production is between 25 and 30 ounces per ton, there were a number of years in which the average grade of production was greater and than 50 ounces per ton silver for the entire year.

Major areas of unexplored ground with the most favorable geology for high-grade discoveries. Historically the highest grade and most production in the Silver Belt come from the contact zone of the St. Regis and Revett Formations. Despite the fact that several veins in the Crescent are projected through this area it still remains relatively untouched. The area between the 1200 and 2500 level actually present the best potential geologically in the whole mine. Little exploration has been conducted in this area. It offers excellent potential for the discovery of numerous high-grade veins and ore shoots.

Past operations had limited production capabilities. As a result of Crescent Mine ore being hauled underground and then hoisted and processed through Bunker Hill Co. milling facilities, the property was never developed or mined on nearly the scale it could have supported. Facilities at the Bunker Hill Co. limited the amount of ore that could be processed so further development never occurred, subsequently, the Crescent is one of the few properties in the Silver Belt that remains highly prospective yet relatively un-mined compared to it's potential.

Favorable metal prices, with Silver over $12 per ounce market conditions are very favorable Coeur d' Alene district mines typically produce for around $5 per ounce silver. Lead and Zinc are at highs and the potential for high-grade lead ore bodies is good. Both the "Lead" vein and the "Steep Lead" vein are silver-lead bearing galena veins that were for the most part left un-mined as a result of low lead prices in previous era's.
