RE: My opinion on the worth of the mineral lands owned by Planet Resources,
Inc. in and Adjacent to the city of Xxxxxx, Idaho.
PROPERTY: City of Xxxxxx Lease Agreement on approximately
200 acres of land for a period of 25 years with an option to
renew for 25 years. 190 acres of ownership of sub-surface
mineral rights held as fee simple by Planet Resources, Inc.
(Allied Silver-Lead Company)
Gentlemen:
I place a value of $100,000
on the mineral rights that Planet Resources, Inc. owns in the property described
above.
This opinion is based
principally on the fact that the immensely productive Lucky Friday mine is
adjacent to the subject property on the east and near it on the north. The
geologic features in the subject property and in the Lucky Friday property are
closely related and very similar. My judgment in this subject comes from 17
years of full-time geological work in the Couer d'Alene district and my
subsequent 20 years of occasional consulting work in the district.
All of the hundreds of
millions of ounces of ore found in the last 50 years in the Coeur d'Alene
mining district had no surface manifestation of its existence and was found only
by underground exploration guided by a few general geologic principles. It is in
this manner that I expect ore to be developed, in due time, in the subject
property and probably by the Hecla Mining Company which owns the Lucky Friday
mine.
