West Cat Mine Acquired, Includes Unpainted Lode Mining Claim

VANCOUVER – StraightUp Resources Inc.has acquired the West Cat Mine, which includes an unpatented lode mining claim on federal land in the historic Beatty Mountain Nevada Mining District in Nye County, Nevada, located about 15 kilometers east of U.S. Route 95 and approximately 20 kilometers from Beatty, Nevada, at the base of the Bare Mountain Range. The West Cat Mine is part of a 20.66-acre land package discovered in the early years of the Bullfrog mining boom. Gold-bearing quartz veins, high in base metals, occur in the west-draining canyons and along the western slopes of Bare Mountain. The mine has reportedly produced some very rich gold ore within fault zones and shears that cut Precambrian-Cambrian quartzites, dolomites, and schists.

President and CEO, Mark Brezer, said, “We are extremely excited to begin our expansion into new mining districts and continue to position ourselves among top-quality assets and companies. Nevada calls itself the ‘Silver State’ for good reason. It’s the second-largest producer in the United States, after Alaska, and, in 2014, Nevada produced roughly 11 million troy ounces — more than half of which came as a byproduct from gold mining. This is clearly an area ready for large-scale operations to come.”
