The proposed plan outlines the company's intent to explore for gold and other precious metals through drilling on its mining claims within the South Pass Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), which requires a Plan of Operations.

The plan includes details on construction methods, drilling operations, reclamation measures, and environmental protection measures.
