Olmec Carlin Au-Ag Grassroots Prospect
160 claims ~3120 ha Selwyn Basin |

The area to the north and northwest of Swan Lake was the site of a staking rush in Fall 2010, with multiple companies on the ground simultaneously staking an area of Au occurrences and elevated precious and base metal geochemistry in Paleozoic Selwyn Basin sediments. The site was originally prospected in the early 1990s by Ron Berdahl. 18526 Yukon Inc. secured a property in the center and the NW of the trend, covering many of Berdahl’s original showings. This ground, the “Aztec” property, has since been optioned for its Carlin gold and base metal potential. |

After the dust had settled, 18526 Yukon Inc. returned to the area and staked the Olmec property as a Carlin-type target. The Olmec claims cover a set of coincident arsenic, silver, mercury and antimony anomalies (>95th percentile for Selwyn Basin) with elevated gold values, situated to the southeast along the same geologic trend as the Aztec property. Arsenic, which is an important indicator at Osiris, is higher at the Olmec than anywhere else along this trend. |

The Olmec property lies within 2 km of the Swan Lake airstrip, in the mineral-rich Selwyn Basin. |
