The distinctive orange color of the hill stems from the weathering of a large body of disseminated copper, molybdenum, silver and gold mineralization that forms the bedrock of the property. The Property is owned by Northwest Explorations Joint Venture ("Venture") organized for the purpose of conducting mineral exploration in Alaska. At the time of organization, AJV Corporation contributed to the Venture the Orange Hill Property, consisting of eighteen patented mining claims with mill site and contiguous group of unpatented mineral claims encompassing approximately 1900 acres.
