Copper King Mining Corporation currently
owns approximately 1200 acres in the Drum Mountains of Utah, which are
patent deeded mining claims which contain gold, silver and copper. The
company recently added to its holdings by filing six more claims on land
which was inside their holdings, but not patent deeded. Contiguous to
that acreage is approximately 1100 acres of claims filed by Western Utah
Copper Company. As the companies explored the concept of a joint venture
on the Drum Mountain properties, it was decided that a very viable consideration
was to join the total assets of both companies.
