Strategic Exploration Group is a collection of junior resource companies that are focussed on exploring mining-friendly jurisdictions in northwestern Canada. The Group enjoys a close working relationship with Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited, a geological consulting firm with extensive knowledge and exploration experience in our focus area. Archer Cathro provides the Group unrestricted access to its unparalleled proprietary mineral databases.
The Group combines experienced management and youthful scientists and entrepreneurs. Its goal is to use the team's various strengths in research, property acquisition, marketing and project financing to identify and capitalize on resource and business opportunities.
Each company in the Group has its own mandate and is successfully implementing a well defined business model.
ATAC Resources Ltd. and
Strategic Metals Ltd. are both project generating exploration companies. ATAC is concentrating on gold and silver exploration while Strategic is pursuing all other commodities. They are capitalizing on the Group's experience and local knowledge to formulate timely exploration ideas and are using them to acquire properties that can be farmed-out for cash, shares and/or work expenditures. This model reduces share dilution and exploration risk, while still providing the companies the opportunity to participate in a major discovery.
Rockhaven Resources Ltd. is concentrating most of its efforts on the Plata Property, a past producer of high grade silver-lead ore. This Yukon property is located in the same belt of rocks as the prolific Keno Hill camp, which is Canada's second largest historical, primary silver producer. Previous operators have extracted approximately 300,000 ounces of silver from shallow open cuts and identified a large near surface zone of mineralization containing gold and silver that is open to extension in three directions. Work in 2008 is designed to establish a resource in a manner compliant with NI 43-101 guidelines and to make new discoveries by following up geochemical and geophysical anomalies observed on the 3000 hectare claim block.
Midnight Sun Capital Corp. is a capital pool company, which was created to take advantage of special situations that do not fit with the other companies' business plans. Depending upon the direction this company takes, it may remain within the group or be replaced by another capital pool company.
