Projects
Star Property
In May 2008, Valterra entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Au-Ag-Cu Star Claim Group in south-eastern British Columbia. The 1,035 hectare property consists of 3 MTO mineral claims and 25 Crown-granted claims located seven kilometres due southwest of the City of Nelson (pop. 10,000).
In 2010, two phases of drilling targeted the Eureka, Star, and Alma N zones. A total of 3 drill holes for 720 metres was completed. The program was highlighted by a Eureka zone intercept in hole VST10-011 which returned 0.28 g/t Au, 4.45 g/t Ag & 0.27% Cu over 66.67m.
Toughnut Property
In March 2009, Valterra entered into an exclusive option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Toughnut Claim Group in south-eastern British Columbia. The 1,010ha property adjoins the Star property to the southeast, and consists of nine mineral claims and one Crown-granted claim.
In 2010, two phases of drilling targeted the Toughnut and Gold Eagle zones. A total of 8 drill holes for 1,506 metres was completed. The program was highlighted by a Gold Eagle intercept in hole VTN10-008 returning 14.47 g/t Au & 34.6 g/t Ag over 4.0m.

Rozan Property
In January 2010, Valterra entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the 1,950ha Rozan Au-Ag-W-Pb-Zn property located approximately 12 kilometres due northwest of the historic mining town of Ymir BC. The property is well positioned with respect to infrastructure, access and services, and is strategically located south of Valterra’s Star and Toughnut properties.
Collectively, the Star-Toughnut-Rozan holdings represent over 4,000ha in the gold-enriched “Rossland Volcanic Belt” and our claims cover five gold-silver-polymetallic zones that are structurally aligned within a 3.5 kilometre long mineral belt.

Swift Katie Property
In 2007, Valterra entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the >8,000ha Swift Katie copper-gold porphyry/shear-hosted property located seven kilometres southwest of Salmo, BC. Currently, Valterra has reached the 60% ownership level by investing over $1.5M in exploration.
In 2011, Valterra has retained resource modeling contract services and is conducting an in-house evaluation of the mineralized inventory on the Katie Main deposit where about 45 drill holes will be evaluated for development potential regarding a future large low-grade open pit operational model.
