Optioning Property/Miscellaneous Jobs
Optioning Properties
As well as prospecting/claim staking for other companies, we also have our own properties. After all, everyone’s ultimate goal is to find a mine and strike it rich, right! We put together packages to promote these properties and sell them at mining/investor shows. Attending these shows is very important as employment in mineral exploration and selling properties (called optioning), is completely dependent on who you know.
