The Company has the option to acquire 100% interest in the Bright Gold Project by exercising two 20% options at a pre-determined cost based on the indicated and measured gold mineral resources defined, to be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of AIS.

The Bright Gold Project and surrounds comprises many major historical workings and recorded production of over 730,0001 oz from both alluvial and rock mining.
