Timberline Resources has published a project overview and filed a new underground exploration plan for its Butte Highlands gold property.

An application to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality covers work aimed primarily at advancing the deposit towards "near-term development and production", including 60,000ft of underground drilling.

Timberline Resources has also acquired an additional 150 acres of private land adjacent to the property for the Butte Highlands gold project in order to reduce development and mining costs by improving access to the site.

Paul Dircksen, Timberline vice-president of exploration, commented: "In addition to the underground exploration plan, we have been advancing geologic modeling, geologic targeting for resource expansion, mine modeling, engineering design, property consolidation and permitting."

The Butte Highlands property is located 15 miles south of the town of Butte in south-western Montana and was sold to Timberline in 2007.

Based in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho Timberline Resources is a mining services and mineral exploration company with contract drilling subsidiaries in the western US and Mexico and an exploration division with a number of gold projects under development.
