Golden Queen Mining (GQMNF)

Golden Queen Mining Co Ltd was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada in November 21, 1985. The Company is engaged in exploring its mineral located just south of Mojave in Kern County in southern California. Its project includes the Soledad Mountain project (Project) and is worked on by its subsidiary. The Project is located approximately 5miles (8km) south of Mojave in Kern County in southern California. The Soledad Mountain mineral deposit is hosted in a volcanic sequence of rhyolite porphyries, quartz latites and bedded pyroclastics that occur on a large dome-shaped feature, called Soledad Mountain, along the margins of a collapsed caldera. Higher-grade precious metals mineralization is associated with steeply dipping, epithermal veins, which occupy faults and fracture zones that cross cut the rock units and generally trend northwest. The veins are contained within siliceous envelopes of lower-grade mineralization that forms the bulk of the mineral resource. The primary rock types that occur on the Property are rhyolite porphyry and flow-banded rhyolite, quartz latite porphyry, pyroclastics and siliceous vein material. The Company's exploration and development activities are subject to laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration and mining of mineral properties, but also the effect of such activities on the environment.
