ABOUT EUREKA
Gold projects include the FG property in the Cariboo area of central British Columbia having an indicated resource of 376,000 ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 634,900 ounces of gold and the Gold Creek gold property in the gold belt of the Company's FG project. The FG project is an advanced stage gold project, currently under option to Canarc Resource Corp.

The Gold Creek property is a grass-roots project located next to and with similar geology to Spanish Mountain.

Eureka has recently concluded the purchase of the Luxor project in the famous and very active Dawson Range Gold belt of western Yukon Territory.

The Company has a pending acquisition of the TAK property which is subject only to regulatory approval

Eureka owns a 50% interest in the Gemini lithium brine project located in the Lida Valley, approximately 40 km (26 miles) south of the Clayton Valley, which contains North America's only producing lithium deposit. Drilling is anticipated to commence in 2017. The drilling has been delayed because of the success of our partners Nevada Sunrise and Advantage Lithium who have elected to retain the drilling crew at their Clayton Northeast project (see AAL and NEV news releases December 2016).
