The Slocan Silver camp has historically produced over 75 million ounces of silver between 1892-1993. A Phase I completed in November 2007 confirmed previous exploration work, successfully located five historic showings and discovered two significant additional showings (targets) located within the Property. The program returned soil and rock samples with values of 50oz/ ton silver, 20% lead and close to 9% zinc. The program initiated in the fall of 2008, consisted of constructing new (and rehabilitating historical) access trails, rehabilitation of underground workings, surface and underground geological mapping, rock and soil sampling. During that period, approximately 7,000 meters of access trails were completed/rehabilitated, 100 rock samples and approximately 2,000 soil samples were collected. When the Company acquired the Silver Tip Project in October 2006, the Property consisted of 900 hectares (9 km2.) Since that time, Hi Ho has conducted an aggressive, regional wide acquisition strategy to secure a significant/strategic land/claim package within this historic silver camp. With the addition of the Silver Patch claims (1,475ha) Hi Ho has increased its holdings significantly.
