In April 2014, IDR purchased the Eastern Star project from Premium Exploration Inc. The property consists of 11 patented mining claims and 71 unpatented mineral claims near Elk City, Idaho. Historic mining on the Eastern Star property includes the Alberta shaft, which was sunk to a depth of 100 feet and drifting occurred on two parallel veins. The Elk City Mining District is an historic gold mining region dating back to the 1860s that once supported more than 20 mines, including the Eastern Star, along with placer dredging operations. Total historic production for the Elk City Mining District is estimated to be approximately 895,000 ounces of gold, mostly from placer dredging operations. Modern exploration in the district by companies including Cypress-Amax, Kinross Gold, and Bema Gold has focused on near-surface bulk tonnage potential, while the many of the high-grade underground gold targets have largely been ignored.
