About the Cahuilla Gold Project
The Cahuilla Gold Project is situated in northwestern Imperial County, California, covering approximately 1,680 acres of patented claims. Parcels 45 and 46, which total 20 acres and are wholly owned by Teras Resources, are the focus of NatBridge's acquisition under the binding Letter of Intent.
