King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG) is an active mineral resource company, which is engaged in the acquisition of interests in, and the exploration of, mineral resource properties in North West Ontario. The Corporation’s mandate is to acquire, evaluate and bring significant gold and other precious metal properties to the development stage. During the last eleven years, the Corporation has been assembling a portfolio of precious metal exploration prospects most notably in the Red Lake gold camp, the majority of which are located in close proximity of present and past producing mines. Certain of these properties exhibit high-grade gold values, rare earths, rare metals and other industrially useful minerals and metals.The Corporation is unique in the industry in that it owns, and therefore controls for itself, most of the equipment required to carry out the various phases of exploration. Key pieces of this equipment include diamond drill rigs, bulldozers and skidders. Other equipment includes rod sloops, thousands of feet of BQ and NQ drill rods, water heaters for winter drilling, high pressure water pumps and nozzles for outcrop stripping, a fleet of trucks, all terrain vehicles and a shop full of spare parts and tools.The Corporation’s goal will always be growth.

Since the original Utah Copper Company began mining the low-grade copper ore in Bingham Canyon, the mine has become a huge open-pit that has produced more copper than any mine in the world, is one of the engineering marvels of the world, and is more than ¾ of a mile deep and more than 2 ¾ miles wide at the top. And it is still growing. Known as “The Richest Hole on Earth” it has yielded more than 18.1 million tons of copper metal, plus significant by-products gold, silver and molybdenum. Ore from the Mine is transported by a five-mile conveyor to the Copperton Concentrator where the rock containing about 0.6 percent copper is crushed and ground to face powder consistency before passing through a chemical flotation process where 28-percent copper concentrate is separated from molybdenite concentrate, which is packaged and sold to steel producers. Seventeen miles to the north, the state of the art Utah Copper Smelter processes the copper concentrate to produce 720-pound copper plates called anodes for use in the nearby Refinery. The copper is now 99.6 percent pure. In the Refinery, the anodes are alternated with thin stainless steel cathode blanks in horizontal tanks filled with liquid electrolyte into which an electric current creates the chemical electrolysis process. Electrolytic refining produces two, 280-pound copper cathodes from each anode during a 10-day period. Cathodes are 99.99 percent pure copper. Impurities and precious metals that settle in the bottom of the tanks, are collected and refined at the Precious Metals Plant.
