About North Peak Resources Ltd.

The company is a Canadian-based gold exploration and development company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NPR and the OTCQB under the symbol NPRLF. Launched by the founding team behind both Kirkland Lake Gold and Rupert Resources, the team has a strong record of acquiring mining assets, applying modern exploration techniques and taking them into operational mines.

North Peak's flagship property is the Prospect Mountain mine complex, which lies in the Battle Mountain Eureka trend, in an area known as the Southern Eureka gold belt, where three styles of mineralization have been identified, gold, silver Carlin-style mineralization, carbonate replacement gold, silver, lead, zinc mineralization (CRD), and carbonate-hosted porphyry-related skarn lead, zinc and gold mineralization associated with cretaceous intrusions. At the property, the CRD mineralization is heavily oxidized to depths of at least 610 metres (2,000 feet) below the top of the ridge line.

A plan of operations is in place which covers part of the property and entitles an operator to pursue surface exploration (totalling 189 acres), underground mining of up to 365,000 tons per annum and certain infrastructural works.
