About Highway 50 Gold Corp.

Highway 50 Gold is a mineral exploration-stage company led by a team of experienced explorers and deal makers. The company is executing an exploration plan refined over 25 years of experience in Nevada and the Aldridge formation of southeastern British Columbia. The exploration focus on its projects is a result of what management believes to be breakthroughs in the understanding of north-central Nevada's crustal architecture and a new geological understanding on the Monroe property in British Columbia.
