About Olivine Mountain

The 3,021.87-hectare Olivine Mountain Property (the "Property") is located approximately 25km northwest of Princeton, British Columbia. The Property is underlain by rocks of the Tulameen Mafic/Ultramafic Complex which hosts two adjacent magnetite deposits, Lodestone Mountain and Tanglewood Hill, both less than a kilometre outside of the Property boundary, and hosted within same geological formations found within the Property. Potential target metals include but aren't limited to copper, nickel, platinum-group metals, cobalt, and gold.

In 2019 GSPR completed roughly 1200 metres of reconnaissance exploration drilling consisting of seven (7) drill holes.
