Location and Property Description
Discovery Harbour holds the early stage epithermal gold Fortuity 89 property, which covers close to 34 square kilometres. Caldera and Fortuity 89 are both located in a well mineralized area of southwestern Nevada with various mines and deposits in the Walker Lane and Northhumberland Gold Trends. Fortuity 89 is approximately four kilometres west of Discovery Harbour’s Caldera property.

Fortuity 89 is characterized by limited outcrop in a large gravel covered plain. The limited outcrop is strongly altered and other indications are consistent with the area being very high in a potentially gold bearing epithermal system.
Evidence supporting this includes the alteration signature of the limited outcrop, the presence of reed fragments, which indicates that this Fortuity 89 outcrop is on a paleosurface with the epithermal system preserved below, and opaline silica. Aside from the limited outcrop, less than 2km2 in the 34 km2 property, the property is largely covered by a gravel plain.
